Ingredients

• 4 cups Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, measure out 4 cups and allow it to thaw slightly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the melted butter and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, forming a roux.

Step 4

Gradually add the heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Step 5

Add the corn kernels to the creamy sauce, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, sugar, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking to add an extra layer of richness.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the creamed corn to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish if desired, and serve warm.
