Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 2 pounds frozen corn (not thawed)
  • 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
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the frozen corn directly into the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker to serve as the base for the dish.
  2. Add Dairy and Seasonings: Add the cream cheese pieces, whole milk, heavy cream, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and kosher salt over the corn.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir all the ingredients together as best as you can to combine them thoroughly before cooking.
  4. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Stir the mixture occasionally during cooking to ensure even melting and prevent sticking.
  5. Season and Garnish: After cooking, season the creamed corn with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for color and flavor enhancement, if desired.

Notes

  • Stirring occasionally during cooking helps achieve a smoother texture and prevents burning on the sides.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream to reduce richness slightly.
  • Fresh corn may be used but will require less cooking time.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese, milk, cream, and butter with suitable plant-based alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated before serving.
