Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional Variations
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes (for a spicy kick)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or chopped chives (added last 30 minutes)
- 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheddar cheese (plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural) for sweetness
- 1/2 cup finely diced bell peppers or green peas
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather fresh corn kernels, plant-based cream, plant-based butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), natural gelling agent, salt, and pepper. No pre-cooking needed as the Crock Pot will cook everything slowly and evenly.
- Combine All Ingredients in Crock Pot: Place the corn kernels, plant-based butter, plant-based cream, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent into the Crock Pot. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Cook on Low Heat: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the corn to soften reaching a thick, creamy texture.
- Stir and Adjust Seasoning: About 30 minutes before serving, stir the creamed corn and taste. Add additional salt, pepper, or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) as needed for perfect balance.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve warm directly from the Crock Pot or transfer to a serving dish. It can be kept warm on the Crock Pot’s warmer setting if needed.
Notes
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Cooking low and slow is essential for developing a creamy, luscious texture.
- Do not skip the natural gelling agent; it thickens the dish without overpowering flavors.
- Stir halfway through cooking to avoid sticking and maintain even consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning late in cooking to avoid over-salting.
