Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob. If frozen, thaw before cooking. This ensures even cooking and creamy texture.
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Combine the corn, heavy cream, butter, and sugar in the slow cooker. Stir gently to distribute the butter and sugar evenly among the corn.
- Cook Until Creamy: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Stir occasionally if possible to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The mixture will thicken and develop a creamy texture.
- Season and Serve: After cooking, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Adjust sugar amount based on your desired sweetness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- You can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or herbs like thyme for variation.
- Stirring occasionally during cooking helps prevent corn from sticking or burning.
- If you like a thicker consistency, cook longer or add a small amount of cornstarch slurry at the end and cook until thickened.
