Delicious Parmesan Cream Corn
Description
This creamed corn recipe uses five cups of corn combined in a saucepan with cream, salt, sugar, black pepper, and butter, heated over medium heat until the butter melts and flavors meld. Separately, milk and flour are whisked together to form a smooth mixture that is then stirred into the corn and cooked until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
Finishing with freshly grated Parmesan adds savory depth and creaminess. The dish develops a soft, creamy texture contrasted by the tender corn kernels. It can be kept warm gently in a slow cooker or a low oven without losing consistency.
This corn side pairs well with main dishes requiring a rich vegetable element. The use of frozen or fresh corn and flexibility with cream types makes it adaptable to varied ingredients available.
The notes suggest that heavy cream can be used for richness, but light cream or half-and-half might also work if preferred. Frozen white sweet corn is a common choice, but other corn varieties can be used depending on availability.
Ingredients
- 5 cups corn kernel frozen or fresh, white or yellow
- 1 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper coarsely ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the butter is melted.
- In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth (can also blend to avoid any lumps).
- Add the milk mixture to the corn, stirring quickly, and cook over medium heat until the creamed corn is thick and bubbly.
- Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve. The creamed corn will thicken as it cools. It can be kept warm on low in a slow cooker (or in the oven at 200 degrees) for up to an hour before serving.
Notes
- Frozen white sweet corn works well, but different corn varieties can also be used.
- Heavy cream is recommended for richness, though light cream or half-and-half can be substituted for a lighter version.
