Ingredients

• 4 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional, for taste)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. If using canned corn, drain and rinse well. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar starts to dissolve into the melted butter.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble and forms a paste.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the corn kernels to the saucepan. Stir to coat the corn evenly with the creamy sauce.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper (if using). Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the corn.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a small amount of milk to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Remove the cream corn from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
