Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 ounces cream cheese (cubed, softened)
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it prior to cooking. If using canned corn, drain well.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbly.

Step 3

Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden and no raw flour smell remains.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream and milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper to season the cream sauce.

Step 6

Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it is fully melted and combined with the sauce.

Step 7

Gradually stir in the sweet corn, ensuring all kernels are coated evenly with the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Simmer the mixture on low heat for 7-8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Step 10

Remove from heat and let the creamed corn rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
