Ingredients

  • 2 10-ounce packages frozen corn kernels thawed, see note
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Stir well and cook until butter melts.
  2. In a small bowl or a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk and flour and stir into the corn mixture.

  3. Cook corn mixture for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly over medium heat until thickened and cooked through.

  4. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Taste and add salt and more freshly ground pepper, if desired.
  6. Serve immediately while warm. Or cool, cover and refrigerate to reheat later before serving, adding a bit more milk if it is too thick.

Recipe Notes

1. To thaw frozen corn quickly, place in a microwave safe bowl with a little water and cook for 30-60 seconds. Drain well.

2. I’ve also made this recipe without thawing the corn first and it works fine, just takes slightly longer until the butter melts in step 1.
