Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob. If frozen, thaw before cooking. This ensures even cooking and creamy texture.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
