Ingredients
2 (16 oz) bags frozen corn (no need to thaw)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
¼ cup unsalted butter, sliced into pieces
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Base
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and flour until smooth.
This helps thicken the creamed corn without any lumps.
Step 2: Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker
Pour the frozen corn into the slow cooker.
Add the milk-flour mixture, heavy cream, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Top with cubed cream cheese, butter pieces, and Parmesan (if using).
No need to stir everything together—let the slow cooker do its magic.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, stirring once or twice during cooking.
The mixture will look separated at first, but don’t worry—it all comes together.
Step 4: Stir and Finish
Once the corn is tender and the cheese is melted, stir everything together well.
If you’d like it even creamier, you can mash some of the corn with a spoon or use an immersion blender to partially purée the mixture.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Spoon the creamed corn into a serving bowl and garnish with a little extra butter or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
Notes
Use Frozen Corn – It’s quick, easy, and tastes great. You can also use fresh corn if in season.
Don’t Skip the Cream Cheese – It adds a rich, velvety texture.
Add Parmesan – For extra flavor, a bit of grated Parmesan gives a subtle umami boost.
Stir Before Serving – This helps distribute the creamy base evenly and ensures a smooth consistency.
Customize the Texture – Leave it chunky or blend part of it for a silkier texture.
