6 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
In a slow cooker, add corn kernels, cubed cream cheese, butter, milk, sugar (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir gently to combine ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until the mixture is hot and creamy.
Stir well to fully blend the cream cheese and distribute the creamy sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Use fresh summer corn for best flavor, but frozen works perfectly for convenience.
Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a little heat.
For a sweeter twist, use sweet corn and increase sugar to 2 tablespoons.
Keeps well in the fridge and reheats beautifully — great for make-ahead meals.
