CREAMED CORN RECIPE

This homemade creamed corn recipe can be made ahead of time and is so, so simple. There are so many different versions of this but this is the best one. A simple roux and you’re done!

You can make this for Thanksgiving dinner, Easter, or Christmas!

INGREDIENTS:

This is made with simple ingredients.

• FROZEN SWEET CORN – You can use fresh corn or canned corn but frozen corn has a little bit of a sturdier shape which I like unlike the canned version.
• FLOUR
• BUTTER
• HEAVY CREAM
• WHOLE MILK
• SUGAR – Just a little sugar. I’ve had creamed corn with so much sugar that it tasted like dessert.
• SALT AND BLACK PEPPER
• GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE

HOW TO MAKE THIS

CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes. This can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or oven.

Top some fresh herbs for some color.
