Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 oz frozen yellow corn
  • 16 oz frozen white corn
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Combine the corn, cream, salt, pepper, sugar and butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk the flour and milk together until free from lumps, then add to the skillet with the corn mixture. Cook, stirring until it is thickened and the corn is cooked through (about 4 minutes.)
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. It's ready to serve!

Notes

This dish makes great leftovers, so we usually eat it two days in a row. Just add a little milk to it for  reheating it because it thickens up in the refrigerator.
This corn freezes well to save for meals on busy nights. If this is too much corn for your family, simply cut the recipe in half. One serving is 4 oz., so cutting it in half will give you 4 servings.
