What Is Creamed Corn?
Creamed corn is a dish prepared by cutting the corn kernels from the cob and scraping the white creamy pulp. The corn is cooked with butter, sugar, heavy and then thickened with flour and water mix until thickened.
This dish originated from the native Americans, it is popular here in Southern USA and also Mid-Western USA.
Our recipe is different from classic versions because it takes a side step in the direction of healthy eating.
With this vegan recipe, you will be able to enjoy the richness of the sweet creamy corn without having to worry about sugar or gluten.
I prefer to use fresh sweet corn, which is still in its milky stage. When your corn is fresh, it is juicy and soft and hasn’t developed its starch content because it is picked prematurely.
However, if your corn is mature, you can easily puree some of it.
How To Cut Corn Off The Cob
- If you bought fresh corn, while it’s on the cob, you’ll need to husk it first and then place it in a bowl standing up.
- Hold the corn by the top and then take a chef’s knife and run it down its sides until all the kernels are removed.
Creamed Corn Ingredients
- Corn Kernels – you can use, fresh corn can corn drained or frozen corn.
- Coconut Milk – gives a creamy flavor to your creamed corn. Coconut milk does a great job of interchanging with heavy cream so you don’t have to worry about the richness of the recipe. Full fat coconut milk gives it a rich texture
- Vegan Butter – I used Earth Balance Buttery Spread, it gives a buttery flavor to the corn.
- Maple Syrup – sweetens the corn without sugar. You can use agave instead. t is a natural sweetener and is completely diabetes-friendly and doesn’t create a rise in blood sugar levels.
- Flour – I used gluten-free all-purpose flour. Since this recipe is gluten-free and flour is required to hold the recipe together and is also used as a thickening agent we are using gluten-free flour and
- will work perfectly fine as a replacement for wheat flour.
How To Prepare Creamed Corn
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, coconut milk, salt, agave, vegan butter.
2. Whisk together the water and flour, and stir into the corn mixture.
3. Cook stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked through. Serve hot.
Cooking Tips
- You can also use frozen sweet corn. If you’re not in the mood to separate the kernels from the cob or are in need of a quick fix.
- If you think your creamed corn isn’t thick enough you can always add a bit more and change the quantity of the milk along with it.
