Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and heated through.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined. This will be your thickening mixture.

Step 4

Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the corn and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese to the skillet in small pieces and stir until completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 6

Season the creamed corn with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Continue to simmer gently for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of the creamed corn for added flavor.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the creamed corn warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or additional parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
