Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter create the rich base of the sauce; use margarine for a dairy-free angle.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream adds luscious creaminess; swap with coconut cream for a non-dairy option.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese thickens and adds depth; use vegan cream cheese for a plant-based alternative.
For the Corn
  • 4 cups Corn Kernels the star of the dish, offering sweetness; fresh or frozen is best.
For Sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons Honey sweetens and enhances the dish; opt for maple syrup for a vegan-friendly substitute.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt elevates all the flavors; adjust according to taste preferences.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper brings a gentle heat; switch to white pepper for a milder flavor.

  3. Drizzle in the honey, and add salt and black pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly and simmer for another 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until smooth and thick.
