Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 16 oz bag frozen corn kernels thawed
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cups whole milk or dairy-free milk
- 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder cornstarch or all-purpose flour
- freshly grated parmesan optional
- fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add corn, salt and black pepper and cook until the corn softens, about 5 minutes.
- While the corn is cooking, whisk the milk and arrowroot powder or cornstarch together in a small bowl.
- Once the corn has softened add the milk mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- This is optional, but if you want thicker/creamier corn you can puree some of the mixture with an immersion blender, until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can take about 1 cup of the corn mixture and transfer it to a blender or food processor to blend. Then add the blended corn back to the skillet and stir everything together.
- Taste and add any additional salt or pepper if needed. You can also stir in ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan if you want to add some cheesiness to your corn. Serve warm.
Notes
- Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy-free milk and vegan butter.
- Storing: Store any leftover creamed corn in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, gently warm it on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to bring back that creamy texture.
