Creamed Corn
Report
The creamiest creamed corn made with fresh or frozen corn is a comforting side dish that goes from summer barbecues to the Thanksgiving table.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs corn kernels. You can use fresh (about 12 medium ears,) or frozen.
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut in pieces
- 1/4 cup butter, cut in pieces
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, or more to taste
Instructions
- If you are using fresh off the cob corn kernels you will need to par-cook the kernels briefly first. I do this in a large bowl in the microwave. Add a splash of water and cover the bowl. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking. Drain and proceed with the recipe.If you are using frozen corn, you can use from frozen, or leave on the counter to thaw first. Frozen corn has already been flash cooked.
- Put everything into a Dutch oven or large skillet and set over medium heat.
- Stir often as the sauce melts. If you are using frozen corn this will take quite a bit longer.
- Once the corn is hot and the sauce is creamy, cook gently until you are sure everything is hot throughout. Add more cream (or milk) if you would like a looser sauce. Taste to adjust the salt and nutmeg.
- Serve hot, with fresh cracked black pepper and fresh thyme or basil as a garnish.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently on the stove. Add more cream (or milk) to thin the sauce.
Notes
- Delicious add-ins:
- minced jalapeños
- crumbled bacon
- diced ham
- pimientos
- minced onion
