Ingredients
Scale
Corn and Main Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Thickening Agent
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (natural gelling agent)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather fresh or frozen corn kernels, plant-based butter, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), spices, and cornstarch mixed with cold water. Measure everything ahead for smooth cooking.
- Combine Corn and Spices: Place corn kernels in the Crock Pot. Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt evenly over the corn to build the flavor base.
- Add Liquids and Butter: Pour in the plant-based milk, add plant-based butter on top, then drizzle the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over all ingredients for depth of flavor.
- Slow Cook and Stir Occasionally: Cover and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours until the corn is tender and the flavors meld. Stir gently halfway through to keep the mixture even and prevent sticking.
- Thicken with Natural Gelling Agent: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the mixture. Continue cooking uncovered to eliminate any raw starch taste.
- Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the creamed corn, adjust salt and pepper as needed, and serve hot as a comforting side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen corn; fresh corn offers brighter texture.
- Do not skip the cornstarch slurry for the best creamy consistency.
- Stir gently to maintain whole kernels and smooth texture.
- If mixture gets too thick, add more plant-based milk to adjust consistency.
- Cook on low heat to allow deep, melded flavors.
