Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen sweet corn (or fresh corn kernels)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until slightly bubbling.
  2. Add frozen corn (no need to thaw) and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in honey and cream cheese until fully melted and the corn is coated in a creamy sauce.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for a hint of heat.
  • Top with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added freshness.
  • Stir in bacon bits or shredded cheese to make it heartier.
  • Canned corn can be used—just drain well before adding.
  • Use dairy-free alternatives for a dairy-free version.
