One recipe that is always requested by family members is my from-scratch creamed corn. No cans here my friends—just good old frozen corn nibblets with a lot of butter and heavy cream.
1tablespoondried chivesplus additional for garnish
8ounceswhipped cream cheese
½cupheavy cream
Cracked pepperfor topping
Instructions
Start by washing your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food.
Wash your cutting boards and counter-tops with hot soapy water.
Prepare corn according to package cooking instructions. Drain.
In a large pot on medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Pour corn kernels in the pot along with ½ cup of milk. Season with salt, sugar and dried chives and mix well.
Then reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the whipped cream cheese. Continue stirring until the cream cheese has melted into the corn (about 5 minutes).
Begin stirring in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Stir for 5 minutes and then turn the burner off.
Place 1 cup of corn mixture in a high-power blender. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth.
Pour the puréed corn back into the pot, mix well and top with additional salt if needed and cracked black pepper.
Garnish with additional dried chives if desired and serve immediately.
Store leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours of serving. Leftovers will last in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days.
Notes
This can be made before your other dishes and kept on the stove on low until ready to serve.
