It’s not summer without a big bowl of southern creamed corn. It tastes like candy. Usually creamed corn is made with lots of cream and calories, but not this Skinny Creamed Corn. And it’s still every bit as delicious.

Skinny Creamed Corn

 

This recipe only has 4 ingredients plus salt and pepper. Simple recipes really are the best and when we’re talking fresh summer corn, you don’t need to add much It’s already delicious right off the cob.

If you want to add an extra flavor dimension, try adding a little Parmesan cheese or some fresh basil or thyme. Add some crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit.

Skinny Creamed Corn

 

Yes, creamed corn in a can is good, but it is heavenly when you make it from scratch.

This Skinny Creamed Corn is low in calories and low in fat. No cream needed, just 2 tablespoons of butter and some skim milk mixed with cornstarch makes it super creamy and rich tasting.

Skinny Creamed Corn makes a great side for a cookout or to serve along with Skinny Chicken Fried Steak.

Recipe Notes:

  • If your corn is in season and fresh, it should be plenty sweet. If you need to add a little sweetness try sprinkling on a little Splenda or Truvia. You won’t need much.
  • Be sure to scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to get as much of the pulp and milk as you can. This will help thicken your creamed corn.

    Do you start with raw corn on cob or previously cooked?

    I’ve made this and freeze it for later use. It’s a great recipe. Will be making it again soon.

    I love this recipe. I make a bunch and freeze into bags for later use. Nothing compares to homemade creamed corn. 😊

    I make ground beef with tomato sauce (homemade). Mix with rice and top with your creamer corn recipe, it is easy to make and it’s delicious. It’s one of my favourite things to make.
