CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER
This is NOTHING like canned creamed corn! My husband is not a fan of corn or creamed dishes, but he thinks this is great. Easy and quick to prepare and is an especially delicious side dish for chicken or pork. Everyone always asks for the recipe.

CREAMLESS CREAMY CORN SOUP
The trick to this silky-smooth, cream-free soup is toasting the flour for the roux and scraping corn milk (aka liquid gold) from the cob. A dash of cayenne lends heat to this cold soup.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour, cayenne, and turmeric; cook 1 minute more. Add corn kernels and milk, broth, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until corn is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Transfer mixture to a blender, working in batches if necessary, and purée until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. (Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired, for the silkiest texture.) Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Season with salt; serve.
CREAMED CORN WITHOUT CREAM
When you grate corn on the large holes of a box grater, you get a lot of creamy milk from the corn, so no dairy cream is necessary for this version of what is usually a very rich dish. If the corn is sweet, as corn should be, I prefer to let the dish stand alone with no additional flavorings; that's why I've made the shallot or onion and the herbs optional.

Steps:
- Grate the corn on the large holes of a box grater placed over a wide bowl. If you wrap plastic wrap around the 3 other sides of the grater, the splashes will go into the bowl.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and add shallots if using. Cook, stirring, until shallot is tender and fragrant, about 2 minutes, and add the corn and salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is sweet and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and remove from the heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

CREAMLESS CREAM CORN
Steps:
- Shuck half the corn and remove the kernels from the husks. Place the corn in a blender and discard the cobs and husks. Purée the corn with 1/3 cup water. Press the purée through a fine sieve and reserve.
- Shuck the remaining corn, cut the kernels from the cobs, and reserve. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved corn, salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is almost tender, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer the strained corn purée into a double boiler set over barely simmering water. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, about 3 minutes. Season the purée with salt and pepper. Remove the corn and onion mixture from the heat and stir in the corn cream. Add the tarragon and adjust the seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- For the corn stock: Put the corn cobs, garlic, bay leaf, onion, coriander, salt and 2 quarts water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook to reduce the liquid to 2 cups, about 45 minutes. Strain and reserve, keeping the stock warm.
- For the creamed corn with lime: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the bacon and cook, stirring as needed, until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions have softened, another few minutes. Add the reserved corn kernels, lime zest and corn stock, bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens and reduces, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, sour cream and cilantro. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
BETTER THAN GRANNIE'S CREAMED CORN
Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
- In a large mixing bowl, place a paper bowl in the middle of the bowl. Resting the cob on the bowl in a vertical position remove only the tops of the kernel with a knife, using long smooth downward strokes and rotating the cob as you go. After the cob has been stripped, use the dull backside of your knife to scrape any remaining pulp and milk off the cob.
- Add the corn and pulp mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary. Sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn, using a whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
NO-CREAM CREAMED CORN
From Vegetarian Times-July/August 2010. Cream-style or creamed corn doesn't usually contain dairy, even in canned versions. Instead, the milky juice from fresh kernels is scraped from the cobs to thicken into a creamy sauce. This version enhances the "creamed" cooking process by using puréed corn as a base.

Tips for Making the Best Creamless Creamed Corn:
- Use Fresh Corn: Fresh corn is the key to getting the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't Overcook the Corn: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the creamed corn. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth.
- Add Some Veggies: To add more flavor and nutrition to your creamed corn, try adding some chopped vegetables, such as onion, celery, or bell pepper.
- Season to Taste: Be sure to season the creamed corn to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
Creamless creamed corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh corn, and it is also a healthy and affordable dish. With a few simple tips, you can make the best creamless creamed corn that you have ever tasted.
