Ingredients

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small sweet onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
5 cups frozen corn thawed and excess moisture removed
¾ cup heavy cream
1½ tbsp granulated sugar
¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of ground nutmeg
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish
finely cracked black pepper for garnish

Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add corn, heavy cream, sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine and cook for about 1 minute.
In a measuring cup or bowl, thoroughly whisk together the milk and flour until flour is fully incorporated; slowly pour into the corn mixture and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes, or until thickened and corn is cooked through.
Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and still shiny with a little cracked black pepper and fresh chopped parsley.
