Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. You should have about 4 cups of corn kernels.

  2. 2

    Measure Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: corn kernels, heavy cream, butter, sugar, salt, and black pepper. If using optional ingredients, prepare the fresh herbs and cheese as well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

  2. 4

    Add Corn and Seasoning

    Add the corn kernels to the skillet along with the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Add Heavy Cream

    Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir to mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook Until Thickened

    Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the cream has thickened slightly.

  5. 7

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, stir in the chopped fresh herbs and grated cheese during the last few minutes of cooking until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Cream Corn

    Remove from heat and transfer the cream corn to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
