Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Base for the sauce, can substitute with margarine for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with coconut cream for a non-dairy alternative.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Use vegan cream cheese for a plant-based option.
For the Corn
  • 4 cups Corn Kernels Fresh or frozen work best, canned corn can be used if drained and rinsed.
For Sweetness and Spice
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup is a great alternative for a vegan option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent browning. This should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the kernels are lightly golden and tender.
  3. Drizzle in the honey along with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the cream cheese melts and thickens the sauce.
  5. Transfer to a warm dish and garnish with additional pepper or fresh herbs before serving hot.
