Notes
- Make Ahead
- Freeze Ahead
- Although doable, I don't recommend freezing this recipe. The texture will be slightly off and it won't be as fresh in flavor.
- If you really want or need to freeze this creamed corn recipe follow instructions below for best results:
- This creamed corn recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- To reheat: Pour contents into a saucepan and gently simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Gently simmering and stirring are both important to ensure the sauce doesn't separate.
- As the mixture heats up and begins to thicken add grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon at a time, until fully melted and desired consistency has been reached.
- Adjust salt and pepper as needed and serve.
- Cool creamed corn and place into a freezable plastic bag, removing as much air as possible, before sealing.
- Place bag in freezer for up to 3 months
- To reheat: Transfer bag to refrigerator and thaw.
- Strain 1/2 cup liquid and discard.
- Transfer remaining contents into a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once mixture has heated through, stir in an additional 1/3 cup half and half and continue to simmer.
- Stir in freshly grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon at a time, until sauce has slightly thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed.
