Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the ears of corn if using fresh corn. Alternatively, you can use frozen corn (thawed) for convenience.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to soften and become fragrant.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the corn in the skillet and stir well to coat the kernels. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour the cream mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer gently.

Step 7

Add the salt and black pepper to taste. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the creamed corn thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top for added richness and flavor before serving.

Step 9

Serve the creamed corn hot as a side dish and enjoy!
