Tips for Making Curried Creamed Corn

• You can substitute the white pepper for freshly ground black pepper.
• If you’re using fresh corn cobs, six ears of sweet corn will equal the 4 1/2 cups of frozen corn.
• Save the corncobs in the freezer if you do use fresh corn. They add depth and flavor to chowders and soups.
• Two 10-ounce bags of frozen corn is approximately 4 1/2 cups of corn.
• You can substitute coconut milk for the heavy cream.
• Chopped green peppers or red bell peppers can be added for more nutrition.
• You can substitute chopped green onions for the cilantro.
• If you get your corn from a farmers market, it will taste sweeter than the corn at the grocery store.

How long does Creamed Curried Corn last in the fridge?

When properly stored in an airtight container, creamed curried corn will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze this Curry Corn recipe?

This recipe has heavy cream as an ingredient. Dairy doesn’t freeze well because the cream will take on a grainy texture when you reheat it. I would not advise freezing this corn.
