A quick and easy creamed corn recipe made in the Instant Pot, perfect for Friendsgiving or cozy dinners. It combines fresh corn with a creamy, slightly cheesy texture without the fuss of constant stirring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 4–5 ears) or thawed frozen corn
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut kernels off 4-5 fresh ears of corn to get about 4 cups. If using frozen corn, measure thawed.
  2. Turn Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  3. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in corn kernels and sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the top; mix well to coat evenly.
  5. Pour in 1 cup whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream; stir to combine.
  6. Seal Instant Pot lid and set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 4 minutes.
  7. Perform a quick release carefully once cooking is done.
  8. Remove lid and use an immersion blender to puree about half the corn in the pot, leaving some kernels whole. Alternatively, blend half in a regular blender and stir back in.
  9. Stir in ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  10. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk.
  11. Turn on ‘Sauté’ for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until heated through and creamy.
  12. Serve immediately warm.

Notes

Do not skip blending half the corn to achieve the perfect creamy texture without turning it into soup. Use fresh corn for best flavor, but frozen corn works well too. Quick release pressure to avoid overcooking and mushy texture. Cheese choice can be varied; sharp cheddar is recommended. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use coconut milk instead of cream and milk.
