Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1/2 cup plant-based heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Parmesan (plant-based) cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Remove fresh corn kernels from the cob or thaw frozen corn gently. This sweet base forms the foundation of your creamed corn.
- Cook with Butter (plant-based): In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the plant-based butter. Add the corn kernels and sauté gently to allow slight caramelization of natural sugars, enhancing flavor.
- Add Cream (plant-based) and Seasonings: Pour in the plant-based heavy cream and sprinkle onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously to evenly coat the corn, creating a rich texture.
- Incorporate Parmesan (plant-based) and Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural): Mix in the grated Parmesan (plant-based) and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to deepen savory notes and aroma.
- Thicken with Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent while stirring. Simmer gently until the mixture becomes silky and holds together perfectly without being runny.
- Final Taste and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat once creamy and flavorful. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh corn when possible for best sweetness and texture.
- Cook over moderate heat to avoid scorching and encourage gentle thickening.
- Stir frequently to prevent sticking and promote even flavor distribution.
- Adjust creaminess by adding extra plant-based cream or milk if desired.
- Serve immediately for best flavor or reheat gently, adding a splash of plant-based milk if too thick.
