Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it, and if using canned corn, drain and rinse.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to ensure smoothness.

Step 6

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the creamy mixture.

Step 7

Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 8

Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 10

Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
