Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 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 black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the corn kernels to the melted butter and sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through (if using frozen corn, thaw it first).
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Set this mixture aside.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour over the corn in the skillet and stir well to coat evenly. This step helps to thicken the final dish.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the cream and milk mixture, stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form.
Step 6
Add the salt and black pepper, and continue to cook over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 7
If desired, stir in grated parmesan cheese for added flavor and creaminess.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the cream corn sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
