Calories: 424kcal
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen sweet corn
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Pour the frozen corn into the slow cooker, along with the sugar, seasoning, and heavy cream. Stir everything together until combined.
- Cut the butter and cream cheese into cubes and place them on top of the corn mixture.
- Close the lid and slow cook on high for 2 1/2-3 hours, or on low for 4-6 hours, until the butter and cream cheese stirs easily into the corn. Stir everything together until well-combined, and the creamed corn has a creamy consistency.
- (Optional) Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the mixture until creamy, leaving a lot un-blended as well. Stir everything one more time until combined and serve.

Storage
Refrigerate leftovers for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
Freeze creamed corn for 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container. You may have to add a little more cream when reheating, because dairy can separate a bit when frozen.
Cooking Tips
- When I was testing this recipe, I noticed that you get a creamier texture that's closer to the canned version when you puree about half of the creamed corn right before serving. I like to use an immersion blender, or use a ladle and work in batches in the regular blender. Be careful because it's hot!
- Cutting the cream cheese into cubes can help everything melt evenly. If you can't stir everything together, place the lid back onto the crockpot and give it more time.
- If you're serving this for a crowd, try using the warm setting on your slow cooker while dinner is being served to keep it creamy.
- You can taste a little bit of the creamed corn before serving, and adjust with any more sugar or salt as-needed.
