Scale
Core Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (cut into pieces)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 pounds frozen corn (not thawed)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- Parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the frozen corn in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker to form the base of the dish.
- Add dairy and seasonings: Add the cream cheese pieces, whole milk, heavy cream, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and kosher salt over the corn.
- Mix ingredients: Stir everything together as best as you can to distribute the cream cheese and seasonings evenly among the corn.
- Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the mixture melds well and doesn’t stick to the sides.
- Finish and serve: After cooking, season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm as a creamy, comforting side dish.
Notes
- Use frozen corn directly without thawing for best texture and flavor.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and encourage even cooking.
- Adjust sugar and salt according to your taste preferences.
- For a tangier flavor, substitute cream cheese with sour cream or add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
