Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Light cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet or saucepan, add the frozen corn kernels and 3/4 cup of the almond milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mixing to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
