Earlier than this recipe, the MB staff was divided when it got here to creamed corn. However issues have modified. After making this model, it was unanimously determined that creamed corn deserves a spot at each vacation meal (and past)!
This wealthy, creamy, evenly sweetened model is completely seasoned and undetectably vegan. It’s a simple, comforting aspect with simply 7 substances and 25 minutes required. Allow us to present you the way it’s finished!
Origin of Creamed Corn
Creamed corn is a staple at many tables in the US, but it surely’s particularly widespread within the Midwest and the South. Do-it-yourself variations typically embrace milk or cream, however we had been shocked to study that canned variations typically don’t comprise any milk or cream in any respect!
It seems canned variations aren’t alone. Creamed corn originated in Native American delicacies, and the “milky” half got here from scraping immature corn kernels from the cob and mixing them with complete items of corn.
Our model extra carefully resembles the richer Midwestern and Southern variations, however we swap out the dairy substances and use vegan options.
Make Vegan Creamed Corn
This straightforward, 7-ingredient vegan creamed corn begins with our trusty sidekick for replicating the wealthy, impartial creaminess of dairy: cashews. When blended with water, they flip right into a thick, creamy milk. No straining or soaking wanted!
Then we add the cashew milk to a skillet with frozen corn (for ease!) together with vegan butter for extra creaminess, maple syrup for sweetness, and salt and pepper for taste.
The combination thickens because it cooks, however we take the creaminess issue even additional by including a (gluten-free) flour and water slurry. Slightly extra cooking and it achieves an excellent creamy, luxurious texture.
We hope you LOVE this creamed corn! It’s:
Creamy
