Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it, and if using canned corn, drain and rinse it. Set the corn aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the corn kernels to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in butter.
Cook the corn for 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring, until heated through and slightly softened.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add to the pan. Stir until the cream cheese melts and combines with the corn.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce.
Add the sugar, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and adjust seasoning to taste as needed.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the corn.
Remove from heat and transfer the Yum Yum Corn to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
