    What is creamed Corn

    Creamed corn is a native American food, that is preparing by slow cooking corn in milk until it's rich and creamy. The traditional method calls for slow cooking. However these days we go for instant and quick methods.

    Ingredients

    Sweet Corn - Since this is a quick version we can go with canned or frozen corn. If you have fresh corn you may pressure cook them for 4 whistles and then remove the corn kernels. The traditional recipe calls for fresh corn and is slow-cooked in the crock pot.

    Cream - Use Fresh dairy cream, It blends very well with the corn.

    Butter - We can use unsalted butter, Butter adds a lovely flavor to the corn

    Milk - You may use full-fat milk or any. Since we add cream separately you may use any type of milk that you prefer.

    Spices - Just the basic spices go into the dish, Salt for taste, and pepper for the flavor. Along with them, I am adding a pinch of Nutmeg powder to taste.

    Cheese - Adding cheese is optional, you may add or skip it. It definitely brings in extra creaminess in corn. So I give this up to you decide to add or not to add.

    Prep Work

    • If using Frozen corn thaw them and keep them ready. If using fresh corn pressure cook for 4 whistles and remove the corn kernels and keep it ready.
    • Bring the Milk and Cream to room temperature and keep it ready.
    • I always crush and use the whole pepper rather than pepper powder. So if you are one like me you can also crush the pepper and keep them ready.

    Variations in creamed corn

    The traditional method and the popular variation is removing the corn kernels from the cob along with the milk and then slow cooking. In this case, you can skip the addition of cream.

    Feel free to use any seasonings as per your preference. You may use paprika powder or even cumin powder or anything per your taste.

    FAQ's on Creamed Corn

    Is Creamed Corn , Vegan ?

    Creamed corn has cream, butter, Milk, and optionally cheese and hence it does not come under Vegan. However, you may very well use the vegan replacement and prepare Vegan creamed corn. These days vegan cream or even vegan cheese and available in plenty in the market. And instead of Milk, you can try using Oat Milk or Almond Milk.

    Can creamed corn be frozen ?

    Creamed corn tastes best when served fresh. The dish has milk products and it might curdle and will not taste good after freezing. My suggestion would be not to freeze and only serve fresh.

    What are Creamed corn substitutes ?

    For Vegan version, you may use vegan cream, vegan butter, or even vegan cheese. And instead of Milk, you can try using Oat Milk or Almond Milk. Several variations are there in the recipe. Some might even add sugar to the recipe. Also instead of corn flour, you can also use APF as a thickening agent.

    does creamed corn have gluten ?

    If you are cooking from fresh corn it is definitely gluten-free. However canned or frozen corn might have gluten and hence check the package instructions before you pick any.

    How to make Creamed Corn

    1. In a pan add in 1 tbsp of butter and cook for few mins till the butter melts.

    Start melting the butter

    2. Next add in 2 cups of frozen corn. Make sure you thaw them and add. Saute for 2 mins in a medium flame.

    5. In another bowl add in ½ cup of milk and 2 tbsp of cornflour. Mix well such that there are no lumps.

    Comnine Milk and corn flour

    6. Add it to the pan and combine everything. Now cook everything together on a very low flame for 8 to 10 mins. Slowly they start to thicken. Finally, I am adding a cheese slice and cook for another 1 min or till the cheese melts and switch of the flame. Adding cheese is also optional. You can just cook till the corn slightly thicken and switch off as well.
