  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter Substitution: Replace with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Note: Coconut cream works well for a dairy-free version.

  • 1/4 cup Honey Substitution: Use maple syrup for a unique twist on flavor.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust based on whether you're using salted butter.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Substitution: Add cayenne or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
For the Thickening

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, set over medium-high heat, add unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely, stirring occasionally until it becomes fragrant and slightly foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Once the butter is melted, incorporate your corn kernels into the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until golden and slightly caramelized.
  3. Drizzle in the honey and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or extra black pepper.
