Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen corn
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and allow the corn to char, stirring just often enough so that the char marks are even and the bottom of the pan does not burn, until evenly charred all over, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and stir to combine. Add the flour and stir until combined evenly, then cook until the flour is cooked and the roux is blond, about 2 minutes. Add half the milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly, until combined. Then add the remaining milk in a slow stream and whisk constantly until smooth. Add the cream cheese and sugar and continue to whisk until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Add about 3/4 cup corn and smash into the cream mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir to combine, then fold in the remaining corn. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer gently until flavors are rich, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and garnish with parsley if desired.

Reviews
It was a so-so recipe for our house. It smelled wonderful but came out “eh”. I’d probably try it again with fresh corn straight off the cob to get some of the corn milk into the cream. Will have to try again sometime in the summer.
Phenomenal cream corn recipe! Added one small can of diced jalapeños and a small dash of garlic powder and it really amped it up! Thanks Molly, I’ve found a staple corn side!
Yummy we will make it again
Delicious. I charred the corn the day before but otherwise prepared exactly as written and it turned out great. A keeper for sure!
This is absolutely delicious. It was a hit with everyone, so easy to prepare. Perfect side dish.
Amazing!!!! The family loves your recipes. Thank you
This creamed corn dish is really delicious. I used organic frozen charred corn so it was extra easy to make. Served this with raspberry chipotle barbecued chicken and baked beans.
Yum! Used pimenton since I didn’t have paprika and it added even more flavor. Turned out thicker than expected, but likely due to using heavy cream as opposed to milk. Still easy and delicious – would be great for a potluck, as it makes a lot.
Very good and easy to make
Super easy recipe and so good! Served it with grilled bbq chicken and it was a big hit. Didn’t make any changes…Pan roasting the corn and smoked paprika are a must. Next time I would consider adding some garlic.
