Creamed Corn IngredientsHere’s what you’ll need to make this creamed corn recipe:Sweet corn, of course! Fresh or frozen corn works here.If you’re using frozen, thaw it in the microwave or at room temperature before you start to cook.Unsalted butter and flour – They create a roux that thickens the cream sauce.
Whole milk – I prefer it to heavy cream here.It creates a slightly lighter sauce that lets the corn flavor shine.For a richer sauce, replace some or all of the milk with heavy cream.
Garlic – Its savory flavor balances the corn’s sweetness.Freshly grated Parmesan cheese – It helps
