🌽 What ingredients are needed for this recipe?
This recipe is so easy to make and you need just a few ingredients. To make this creamed corn, you will need:
- Frozen corn: You’ll need two bags (about 12 ounces each).
- Unsalted butter: Butter and corn just go together!
- Cream cheese: I used full fat cream cheese.
- Heavy cream: The heavy cream really gives this corn a restaurant quality taste.
- Sugar: To sweeten our corn.
- Honey (optional): If you want an even sweeter creamed corn add one tablespoon of honey.
- Salt and pepper: I recommend adding salt and pepper to taste.

Add the corn. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
You can add two teaspoons of corn starch if you feel like your creamed corn isn’t thick enough.
For crockpot creamed corn, frozen is better. Canned or frozen both work in stove top recipes.
Rudy’s serves creamed corn all day so they simmer their corn on low after making a big batch. This is a great way to replicate a restaurant at home with a slow cooker!
