What's In The Post

Equipment Required

Large Sized Saucepan: I suggest using a large saucepan to cook the ingredients evenly.
Knife: I prefer a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob evenly.
Measuring Cups & Spoons: Both these equipment are required mainly to get the exact measurements of your ingredients.
Spatula or Large Spoon: I use a silicone or large spoon to mix the corn and cheese perfectly.
Medium Sized Bowl: I recommend using a medium sized bowl to wash and store the corn kernels until added to the saucepan.

Paula Deen’s Creamed Corn Ingredients & Substitutions

Note: The quantities of the ingredients mentioned below are enough to serve six portions. You may adjust the quantities of the ingredients to serve more or fewer portions.

6 Ears Corn Shucked: I prefer fresh corn kernels; frozen corn would be a better substitute.
3 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter
2 Cloves Garlic, minced: You can also try using garlic powder to achieve the exact spiciness of the garlic.
1 Shallot, minced: Scallions can also be used to get a milder flavor similar to shallot.
¼ Cup White Wine: I prefer using chicken or vegetable broth to get an extra sour and savory flavor when I don’t have white wine.
½ Cup of Cream Cheese: As an alternative to cream cheese, I love adding ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt, and you also can try it!
¼ Cup Heavy Cream: If you prefer an alternative to heavy cream, you can go with cashew cream with mild sweetness or whole milk.
Kosher Salt: When I run out of Kosher salt, I use regular salt. You can do the same.
Freshly Ground Pepper: If you wish, I recommend you add white pepper for a milder taste.
