Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (frozen or canned)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
If using frozen corn, thaw it by rinsing under warm water in a sieve and let it drain. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it as well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute to form a smooth paste (roux).
Step 4
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the corn kernels. Let the mixture cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and the sauce becomes creamy.
Step 7
If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm.
