Description
This creamy, sweet, and buttery corn dish is a quick side that’s packed with flavor. With just a few ingredients, it transforms frozen corn into a velvety, indulgent treat that pairs beautifully with any meal!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter – adds richness and depth
- 2 tbsp honey – for a touch of natural sweetness
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn – the base of the dish
- 2 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks – makes it extra creamy
Instructions
1️⃣ Melt the butter:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it covers the bottom of the skillet, preventing any sticking.
2️⃣ Add the honey:
Once the butter has fully melted, stir in the honey until it’s well incorporated with the butter, creating a sweet and savory base.
3️⃣ Cook the corn:
Add the frozen corn to the skillet, stirring constantly to coat each kernel with the honey-butter mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is heated through.
4️⃣ Melt in the cream cheese:
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese chunks. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and combines with the corn, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
5️⃣ Simmer and serve:
Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and fully blended. Serve hot, and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness!
Notes
- Fresh corn option: Substitute fresh or canned corn for frozen if preferred. Fresh corn will have a slightly different texture and may require a couple of extra minutes to soften.
- Add a bit of spice: Sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
- Make it herby: Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives for a touch of color and flavor.
