Homemade Cream Corn Recipe
Homemade Cream Style Corn Recipe
Forget the creamed corn that comes in the can! You can make one that is way more delicious and it’s actually not that hard either.
Homemade creamed corn goes well at any barbecue, potluck, holiday recipes, or even just a weekday side dish for dinner. It is made with ingredients that you probably already have in your home and you will be amazed at how many people will adore this recipe. In fact, I bet it will be the star of the show!
A bit of backstory about this cream corn recipe:
My super awesome big sister started making this delicious side dish a couple years ago and it is the MOST REQUESTED side dish of family dinners! It’s heavenly, fattening, and even more heavenly. You WILL want seconds – I promise. Probably thirds and fourths as well.
How to Make Homemade Cream Corn
Don’t worry! It’s easy to make and the ingredients are very simple. I could just go to the kitchen and make it right now!
There are so many times that I have been invited to potlucks or spur of the moment get-togethers and I had no idea what to make (side dish ideas aren’t often my strong suit). Well, this side dish recipe is now one of my go-to dishes! People usually ask me for the recipe and they are surprised when they learn how simple it really is – only takes about 30 minutes to make from start to finish.
5-Step Cream Corn Recipe
- Mix together the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper, and butter in a sauce pan
- Separately mix the milk and flour
- Stir it all together
- Let it cook (be sure to cook it long enough so that it can get thick, but it shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes or so). If it’s under-cooked, it will be runny.
- Add the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and you are set!
This homemade cream corn is the perfect side dish as the weather starts to get a little cooler because it is warm and toasty. It will heat your body right up and keep your tummy happy – total comfort food!

Homemade Cream Corn Recipe
Equipment
- Sauce Pan
Ingredients
- 20 ounces frozen corn
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Add frozen corn, heavy cream, salt, sugar, pepper, and butter to a large pot.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk and flour (this is what will help thicken the cream). Stir into corn mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring often so the cream doesn't burn, until mixture is thickened and corn cooked through. If you don't cook it until it's thickened, it will be runny (although it will still taste wonderful).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!!

Try replacing your sugar with powdered sugar.
Is the parmesan fresh or the grated kind in the canister?
You could use either. I prefer it using the fresh grated.
Can I use canned corn (drained) you think?
With canned corn you lose some of the natural corn flavor
Jenn, I think it wouldn’t taste good with the canned corn. Go frozen!
I start by making a rue with the butter and flour and then add the other ingredients using cream cheese in place of the parmesan. 🙂
How much cream cheese? Did you add it after the corn was removed from heat or while cooking?
Is there a way I could cook this according to the directions and then transfer it over to a crockpot on the warm setting to serve to family later?
That would totally work!
Could I use fresh corn? It was on sale at my local grocery store for $3 a dozen.
Roughly,how many servings is this?
Right around 8 servings AJ. 🙂
Thank you! Making this right now for Thanksgiving lunch 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy!! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
If i wanted to make all of this in a crockpot? how could i make that work?
I’d cook up the sauce and get it thick first, then throw the corn and sauce in the crockpot. Throw in the cheese at the end.
I made this using 2oz cream cheese instead of the parmesan-just because I didn’t have any. I then put it in the crock pot. Although it tasted fabulous, the crock pot held in the moisture. I think it would be much better in the oven or just kept warm on the stove. Thanks for the great recipe!
CAN I DOUBLE THIS FOR MORE THAN 8 TO EAT
I’ve doubled this many times! 🙂
claudia m thomas, I haven’t doubled the recipe personally but I wouldn’t hesitate to do it. There isn’t any reason why it wouldn’t double great!
Made this for Xmas dinner and it was delicious!!! Thanks!!!
Awesome! Glad you loved it!
I made a similar recipe this weekend. It was delicious. Instead of milk it had 8 oz. cream cheese to 32 oz of corn. I put it in the crockpot on low for 4 hours. Easy and delicious! (I did not have to thicken it)
Yum!!
Made this for a family gathering. It was over the top delicious thank you.
Making for thanksgiving it looks so good , can’t wait to make this !!
We love this recipe! It is so simple and yummy! So easy to make and store in the refrigerator for a few days. I have made it with canned corn and it tastes just as good as frozen!
Glad you love it! 😀
Hello,
I know that tbs stands for tablespoon and tsp stands for teaspoon, but what does the T stand for? In the recipe it says 2 T sugar and 2 T butter. As you probably know over here in Europe it is common for most people to use a scale and weigh ingredients, rather than using cups and spoons. But since pinterest is very popular in Europe too, we are faced with all these new measurements as well. So please help me out!
So sorry about that Danielle! I fixed it!! T is Tablespoon. My bad! 🙂 <3
THIS WAS DELICIOUS !! I get raves about it when i make it. i also added bacon and a little smoked flavoring .
Oh great idea!! Glad you love it!
Love it!! thanks for sharing this awesome yummy easy recipe.. I made it last year for the first time and it was a big hit with our family and friends.. I am making it in a few minutes.. love it!!
Awesome!! YES it is for sure a WINNER!! 😀 Happy Thanksgiving!
Do you know how well this freezes? I would love to make a huge batch and freeze some for my husband when I’m out of town
Hi Bri! I’m not sure how this would freeze… sometimes creamy things don’t reheat super great. 🙁 If you decide to do it, will you let me know how it goes?
I froze 15 doz corn this year, on the cob and uncooked. Just took off some husks and froze. It was soggy when unthawed. I found this recipe rather then throw out all the corn. It is perfect and better then corn on the cob. We love it and make it every time company comes over, with nothing but great raves about how great it tastes. Reading the reviews, I am going to try it with the cream cheese. Best recipe I have ever pinned.
Oh that is so wonderful! Glad to hear it… thanks for sharing Anita!
I made this this Thanksgiving and now today for Christmas. I add Old Bay (I’m a Marylander!) My family loves it! Thank you!!
So happy you enjoyed it! <3
My cream corn recipe: 8 cups of corn-cut off cob, 1 pound real butter, 1pint 1/2 and 1/2 I always double this…. Put in a roaster pan, put in oven on 300. Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool, put in freezer containers. Freeze Some can be eaten right away……….
Thanks for sharing!
This was AMAZING! To be honest, I was ready to make a different recipe, one that’s done in the slow cooker and uses cream cheese. But at the last minute I found that I forgot to get cream cheese at the store. Being Thanksgiving day, I did not want to make a trip to the store. So I found this recipe and I had everything on hand. I am so glad I forgot the cream cheese at the store! This cream corn is so delicious! It’s easy to make too. I made it as directed and then kept it warm in the slow cooker. Everyone loved it. Even my picky son. He was skeptical, but after trying it, he LOVED it!
Thanksgiving side…they LOVED it! Totally a keeper recipe.
Woo hoo! Thanks for sharing Sharon!
Made this for dinner tonight. I cut all the measurements down by half since it’s only for 2… super good. Loved it. Will be making again.
Nice!! So glad you enjoyed it!
