Creamy Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a sweet and velvety side dish featuring tender corn kernels cooked in a luscious honey butter sauce enriched with cream and cream cheese. This quick and easy recipe combines buttery richness with a touch of honey sweetness and a hint of spice, making it a comforting addition to any meal.

Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (can substitute with margarine for a dairy-free version)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (can substitute with coconut cream for a non-dairy alternative)
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese (use vegan cream cheese for a plant-based option)

For the Corn

  • 4 cups Corn Kernels (fresh or frozen, canned drained and rinsed)

For Sweetness and Spice

  • 1/4 cup Honey (maple syrup as a vegan alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust based on preference)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper (white pepper for milder flavor)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent browning. This should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Cook Corn: Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the kernels are lightly golden and tender.
  3. Add Honey and Seasoning: Drizzle in the honey along with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Add Cream and Cream Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens, creating a creamy texture.
  5. Serve: Transfer the corn to a warm serving dish. Garnish with additional pepper or fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute margarine and vegan cream cheese to make this dish dairy-free and vegan.
  • Maple syrup is a good alternative to honey for a plant-based variation.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • Fresh or frozen corn works best; canned corn should be drained and rinsed to reduce excess moisture.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor and color.
