Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or thawed frozen corn)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup plant-based milk

Seasonings and Enhancers

  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Finishing Ingredient

  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Begin by cutting fresh corn kernels off the cob. If fresh corn is not available, thaw and drain frozen corn thoroughly before using.
  2. Cook the Base: Melt the plant-based butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux, stirring continuously until it turns lightly golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add Liquids and Corn: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and plant-based milk while stirring consistently to prevent lumps. Add the corn kernels and cook gently, stirring occasionally, allowing the mixture to thicken and the corn to soften for about 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Season and Enrich: Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and the natural gelling agent. Mix thoroughly so all flavors combine smoothly.
  5. Finish with Parmesan: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the plant-based Parmesan cheese. Allow it to melt slightly, infusing the creamed corn with a savory, cheesy richness before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly shucked corn whenever possible for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Stir frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and promote even thickening.
  • Remove from heat once the mixture thickens to avoid dulling the fresh corn flavor.
  • Adjust the texture by adding more plant-based milk for creaminess or simmer longer for thicker consistency.
  • Add Parmesan cheese only after turning off the heat to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.
