Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups corn kernels
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until fully melted and smooth.
2. Add the corn kernels and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and heated through.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, then stir gently to combine with the corn.
4. Add the softened cream cheese and continue stirring until completely melted and smooth.
5. Season the mixture with sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt into the sauce.
7. Simmer the creamed corn for 8 to 10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally until thick and creamy.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
Notes
Use frozen corn for a quick and convenient version that still tastes sweet and fresh.
Keep the heat low once the dairy ingredients are added to prevent the sauce from separating.
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a small splash of milk before serving to loosen the texture.
