What is cream corn?

Cream corn or creamed corn is a vegetable side dish that involves cooking the corn kernels sometimes with the milky juice from the cob and always with cream.

My version uses heavy cream, milk, and cream cheese to get a rich creamy sauce for the corn.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Corn– Frozen corn kernels
Cream cheese– Soften it to room temperature and cut it into cubes.
Milk– Whole milk is a must for this. Do not substitute lower fat milk.
Heavy cream– Again don’t substitute for a lower fat dairy product. It won’t taste as good.
Sugar– Granulated
Salt and pepper

How to Make

Making slow cooker creamed corn is so easy- just as easy as opening a can!

To do it, just add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a slow cooker and stir them together.

Cover the slow cooker and cook the corn on low for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, stir the corn and then put the cover back on.

Let it cook for another hour.

Season with a little extra pepper and serve!

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the slow cooker or in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure you are using whole corn kernels and not nibs.
You can substitute fresh corn, cut off the cob, if desired. It would take between 9 and 10 ears to get enough corn for this recipe.
Do not substitute lower fat dairy. You want whole milk and heavy cream for the richest, creamiest result.
