Notes

Ingredients 

  • 2 (10 oz) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup whole milk (or 2% if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping, if desired)

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook Base: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine corn, heavy cream, sugar, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the butter melts (about 3–5 minutes).
  2. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Pour into the corn mixture while stirring constantly.
  3. Finish: Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the corn is heated through (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan until melted.
  4. Serve: Spoon into a serving bowl and top with extra Parmesan or a dash of pepper, if you like. Serve hot.

 

 

Tips:

  • Make it cheesier by adding more Parmesan.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
