Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Shuck the corn and remove all kernels from the cob. Measure out 4 cups and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Gradually stir in the flour until no lumps remain.

Step 5

Pour the cream mixture over the corn in the skillet, stirring constantly to coat the kernels evenly.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the corn to simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking for extra richness.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the creamed corn sit for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a side dish.
