Equipment

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen sweet corn
  • ¼ cup 4 tablespoons or ½ a stick butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet you will heat over medium heat. Then add in the frozen corn and place the lid on the skillet.
  • Let the corn cook for 5-7 minutes or until the corn is nice and hot.
  • Add in the butter and sugar, and stir until the butter is melted.
  • Next add in the cream cheese, salt and pepper. Stir and place the lid back on and allow the cream cheese to melt fully.
  • Once the cream cheese is mixed through and the corn is warmed all the way through, serve and enjoy.

Notes

For extra creamy corn, add 2 tablespoons heavy cream along with the butter.
Honey can be used instead of sugar, or use an artificial sweetener for a sugar free cream corn recipe. 
Garnish with parsley, cilantro, or other fresh herbs. 
The corn can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. I do not recommend freezing.
Store leftover creamy corn in the fridge for 3-4 days. Then once you reheat you can add a little extra milk if the corn is too thick.
