Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 cups Fresh or frozen corn Provides a sweet and juicy base.
8 oz Cream cheese Adds a creamy richness.
2 tbsp Unsalted butter Enhances flavor while adding velvety texture.
1 cup Heavy cream Contributes richness and creaminess.

Spices

1 tsp Garlic powder Introduces subtle depth of flavor.
1 tsp Onion powder Offers mild sweetness.
1 tsp Kosher salt Enhances all the flavors.
1 tsp Ground thyme Provides an earthy note.
1/2 tsp Black pepper Adds warmth and spice.

Garnish

1 tbsp Fresh parsley For garnish and added flavor.

Method

Preparation

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the parsley.
Cover and heat over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and stir the mixture until it is smooth and creamy, cooking uncovered for about 5 more minutes.
Taste your creamed corn and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding cayenne for heat or Parmesan for umami. Use fresh corn when possible, and monitor your cooking times to maintain texture. Stir regularly while cooking to avoid sticking.
