Sweet Cream Corn Kernel Recipe
The Sweet Cream Corn Kernel Recipe is the ultimate comfort food for any family dinner or holiday gathering. Learning how to make Sweet Cream Corn Kernel at home is much better than using the canned version today.
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned and drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
Melt the Butter
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add two tablespoons of unsalted butter today. Allow the butter to melt completely until it begins to bubble slightly and smells very rich and nutty tonight.
Sauté the Corn
- Add your four cups of corn kernels directly into the warm melted butter in the pan. Stir the corn frequently for about three to five minutes to help the natural sugars begin to caramelize beautifully.
Add Cream and Sugar
- Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the granulated sugar, salt and black pepper over the corn today. Lower the heat slightly to prevent the cream from boiling over while the flavors start to blend together.
Thicken the Sauce
- In a small bowl and whisk the flour and milk together until no lumps remain in the white liquid. Pour this mixture into the saucepan and stir constantly as the sauce thickens into a velvety and rich coating.
Final Simmer and Season
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for another five minutes until the corn is tender and the sauce is thick. Stir in the parmesan cheese if you want extra richness before serving your hot dish to the family.
Notes
- Store any leftover creamed corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Reheat the corn in a small saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk to stay creamy.
- You can also use a microwave for two minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure it heats evenly today.
- This dish does not freeze very well because the cream may separate once it is thawed out later.
- Always check the seasoning after reheating, as cold temperatures can dull the flavor of the salt and sugar.
