Ingredients
4 cups frozen sweet corn
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the corn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
3. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cream cheese melts into the mixture.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and water until smooth.
5. Pour the flour mixture into the corn and stir well.
6. Simmer for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and turns creamy.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Spoon into a serving dish, top with parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese so it melts smoothly into the sauce without leaving small lumps.
If the creamed corn thickens too much before serving, stir in a splash of milk over low heat until it loosens back up.
