Ingredients:

  • 3 cups frozen corn, fresh or canned also work
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp parmesan, optional (for finishing)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, optional (for topping)

Method:

Start Cooking
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add corn and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly golden.
  • Pour in heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  • Add salt and black pepper, adjust to taste.
  • Optional: Stir in or sprinkle 1 tbsp parmesan for a deeper flavor.
  • Finish with fresh dill on top and serve warm. Bon appétit.

Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Cook frozen corn long enough to let excess moisture evaporate before adding cream.
  • Let the cream simmer until slightly thickened before adding cream cheese.
  • Add parmesan at the end, off heat, for the best texture.
  • Taste before adjusting salt, especially if using parmesan.
 
Make it yours
  • Skip parmesan for a cleaner, lighter flavor.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms for depth.
  • Use chives or parsley instead of dill.
  • Add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for heat.
  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
 
At the table
  • Serve warm alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls.
  • It also works well as a simple, comforting side for everyday meals.
