Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (16 ounces / 454 grams) frozen corn
- 2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese, cut into chunks
Seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, salted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, gently merging butter and honey into a glistening, golden liquid. Swirl the pan periodically to prevent scorching and ensure uniform blending.
- Cascade frozen corn kernels into the shimmering butter-honey emulsion. Stir periodically, allowing kernels to absorb the sweet essence and warm through completely, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- Introduce cream cheese cubes, sprinkling salt and pepper across the surface. Gently fold ingredients together, encouraging the cream cheese to dissolve and create a luxurious, velvety texture. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, stirring consistently to achieve a harmonious, creamy consistency that envelops each corn kernel.
- Once the mixture reaches a smooth, glossy appearance with no visible cream cheese chunks, remove from heat. The final result should be a decadent, glossy corn preparation with a perfect balance of sweetness and richness.
