Ingredients

  • 16 ounces super sweet white corn frozen, canned, or fresh
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water cold

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the corn, heavy cream, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir until all ingredients are heated—about 3-5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water, then slowly add into the corn mixture while stirring. Continue to heat and stir as the creamed corn begins to thicken—about 3-5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with butter and fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
