Add a little salt – A pinch of salt (¼ tsp or to taste) balances the sweetness beautifully.
For a savory version – Omit the sugar and add ¼ tsp black pepper and a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika.
Use fresh corn – Substitute 4–5 ears of fresh corn (cut off the cob). You may need to add 2–3 tablespoons of water or milk as fresh corn is less moist than frozen.
Thicker sauce – Simmer for an extra 5–10 minutes to reduce further.
Thinner sauce – Stir in a splash of milk or cream before serving.
Storage
Refrigerator – Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat – Gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen if needed. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
Enjoy this effortlessly creamy, crowd-pleasing side dish!
