Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper (or black pepper)
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and lightly golden.
Step 3
Slowly add the heavy cream and whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 4
Stir in the sugar, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the creamy base.
Step 5
Add the corn kernels to the saucepan and stir gently to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a comforting and creamy side dish.
