Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux. This will help thicken the dish.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in during the last minute of cooking for added richness and flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
