Description

This easy Creamed Corn with Parmesan (plant-based) recipe delivers a comforting, rich, and irresistibly creamy side dish bursting with the natural sweetness of fresh or frozen corn. Enhanced by the savory depth of plant-based Parmesan and a natural gelling agent for a velvety texture, it pairs perfectly with seafood, grilled vegetables, or roasted meats. Simple, quick, and flavorful, it is an adaptable dish for any season and occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Corn Base

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquid and Cheese

  • 1 cup dairy-free milk (almond, oat, or cashew)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan (plant-based), grated

Texture and Seasoning

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Melt the plant-based butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking gently until translucent and fragrant to create a flavorful base for the dish.
  2. Cook the Corn: Add the fresh or frozen corn kernels to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the corn softens slightly and releases natural sweetness.
  3. Stir in Dairy-Free Milk and Parmesan (plant-based): Pour in the dairy-free milk and sprinkle in the grated Parmesan (plant-based). Stir to combine and gently warm the mixture as the cheese melts and infuses flavor.
  4. Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Gradually sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the skillet while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a luscious, creamy consistency that coats the corn evenly.
  5. Season and Finish: Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well and let the mixture simmer on low heat for a couple more minutes to blend the flavors beautifully.

Notes

  • Fresh or frozen corn can be used; fresh corn adds a crisp, sweet bite.
  • Stir continuously when adding the natural gelling agent to avoid lumps and ensure even thickening.
  • Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of natural gelling agent used.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to intensify flavors and improve texture.
  • Use good-quality Parmesan (plant-based) for the best umami flavor.
