Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Add Corn and Seasonings:
Stir in the corn kernels and sugar (if using). Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Tips:
Texture Preference: For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture, leaving some whole corn kernels for texture.
Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce for a different flavor twist.
Make-Ahead: Creamed corn can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit more cream or milk if needed.
This creamy and delicious side dish is perfect for holiday dinners, weeknight meals, or any occasion where you want a comforting addition to your plate. Enjoy!
