Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons butter (plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan (plant-based), grated
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Start by thawing frozen corn or shelling the fresh kernels from the cob. Rinse if needed and set aside, so they are ready for cooking.
- Melt the Butter (plant-based): In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (plant-based). Let it warm gently without browning as this is the creamy base where all your flavors will come together.
- Add Corn and Seasonings: Add the corn kernels along with the onion powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper to the melted butter. Stir well to coat evenly and cook until the corn is heated through and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour in Cream and Natural Gelling Agent: Slowly stir in the heavy cream (plant-based) and sprinkle the natural gelling agent evenly while mixing vigorously. This thickens the sauce and gives it a luscious, velvety texture.
- Stir in Parmesan (plant-based): Add the Parmesan (plant-based) and continue stirring gently until it melts completely and integrates into the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve Warm: Transfer your creamed corn to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh corn when possible for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Don’t skip the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) as it adds essential umami richness.
- Keep the stove at medium heat to avoid scorching the cream or butter (plant-based).
- Add the natural gelling agent slowly and stir continuously to ensure a smooth sauce without clumps.
- Adjust Parmesan (plant-based) quantity based on how sharp or mild you want the flavor.
