Ingredients
  

For the Creamed Mixture
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with margarine for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour Thickens the sauce; whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a creamy texture; half-and-half or a non-dairy cream alternative can be utilized instead.
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk Adds moisture and creaminess; use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Balances the savory flavors; honey or maple syrup can be used for a natural sweetener.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances flavor; regular salt can be substituted.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper Adds a hint of spice; adjust to taste, with freshly ground black pepper recommended.
For the Corn Base
  • 2 cups Frozen Corn (thawed) Provides the main ingredient texture and sweetness; fresh corn can be used in season, or canned corn (drained) can be an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Adds salty, umami flavors; Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast for a vegan version can be used.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Dutch oven
  • Whisk

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamed Corn
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it melts and starts to foam, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the melted butter. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture thickens slightly and turns a light golden hue.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of whole milk. Keep whisking until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar, along with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Fold in 2 cups of thawed frozen corn and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook on medium-low for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once your creamed corn is ready, serve it hot as a side dish.
