Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 package (16 oz) frozen corn or 3 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • ½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter & Honey: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely, then stir in the honey until combined into a smooth mixture.
  2. Add Corn: Pour the frozen or fresh corn kernels into the skillet and stir well to coat all pieces evenly with the honey butter mixture. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized for extra flavor.
  3. Creamy Finish: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese along with salt and black pepper. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and blends fully into the corn, creating a luscious, creamy glaze that coats the kernels beautifully.
  4. Serve Warm: Once the creamy glaze is well combined and the corn is hot, transfer the dish to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using fresh corn kernels will provide a slightly crunchier texture, while frozen corn offers convenience and sweetness.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preference for seasoning.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
  • Serve alongside grilled meats or roasted dishes for a delightful sweet-savory complement.
