Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh sweet corn (kernels sliced off the cob)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully dissolved and slightly foaming.
Step 2
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a light roux. Avoid browning the flour.
Step 3
Gradually pour the whole milk into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, stir in the heavy cream and continue to whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Add the granulated sugar, salt, ground white pepper, and nutmeg to the mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Step 6
Fold in the fresh sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the creamed corn sit for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken further.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg if desired.
