Instructions

1

Melt the Butter

Melt the butter in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the thawed corn kernels and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Cook for 3 minutes until the corn is heated through.

2

Add the Cream Cheese

Add the cubed cream cheese to the corn and stir continuously as it melts. The mixture will look lumpy at first but will come together into a smooth and creamy sauce after about 5 minutes of stirring.

3

Season and Serve

Once the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and coats the corn, taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.

Substitutions

frozen cornfresh corn cut from 4 ears of corn for extra sweetness
cream cheesemascarpone cheese for an even richer and silkier texture

Common mistakes

Using cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator, which causes it to clump and take much longer to melt smoothly
Cooking on high heat, which can cause the cream cheese to scorch on the bottom of the pan before it melts
