A rich, velvety, and comforting corn side dish that comes together in minutes. This Creamy Corn Side Dish pairs perfectly with grilled meats, roasted veggies, or festive holiday meals.
Gather and prepare all ingredients. If using fresh corn, remove kernels; if using frozen, thaw and drain well.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat for about one minute without browning.
Add the corn and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s heated through and fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the corn is well coated.
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken and become creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with a splash of cream or water if desired.
Give the dish a final stir and remove from heat. Serve warm as a delicious, creamy side.
Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or parsley, or mix in cheese for richness. To make it vegan, substitute with coconut cream and plant-based butter. This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
