Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh corn kernels (husked and removed)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In your slow cooker, add the fresh corn kernels, heavy cream, melted butter, sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring all the flavors come together.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute all the ingredients for consistent flavor throughout.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 4 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and promote even thickening.
- Check Consistency: After 4 hours, uncover and evaluate the creamed corn. It should be creamy and slightly thickened, indicating it’s ready.

Notes
- Use fresh corn for best flavor; frozen corn can be substituted but may alter texture slightly.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent corn from sticking to the sides of the slow cooker.
- Adjust sugar and seasoning based on personal preference for sweetness and saltiness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a milk alternative, though texture will be less rich.
- The recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings; just ensure your slow cooker has enough capacity.
