Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh sweet corn (kernels sliced off the cob)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully dissolved and slightly foaming.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a light roux. Avoid browning the flour.
Gradually pour the whole milk into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
Once thickened, stir in the heavy cream and continue to whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, ground white pepper, and nutmeg to the mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Fold in the fresh sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove from heat and let the creamed corn sit for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken further.
Serve hot as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg if desired.
