Ingredients

• 4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

How to Make Creamy Corn on the Cob

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the husked corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Remove the corn and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.
3. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and chives.
4. To serve, place the corn on a serving platter and drizzle with the creamy herb sauce. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
5. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• For the freshest flavor, use in-season sweet corn.
• Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more cream if you prefer a thinner sauce.
• If you want a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Feel free to customize the herbs based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences.

Easy Variations

• Swap the Parmesan cheese for feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Add some cooked bacon bits to the herb sauce for a savory twist.
• For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with vegan butter.
