Instructions

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add oil. Once hot, sauté the onion until translucent.

Transfer half of the corn to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the second half of the corn to the skillet with the onion and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Stir in dairy-free milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the center of the skillet, melt the dairy-free butter and stir in flour, creating a roux. Add the reserved puréed corn to the skillet and stir to combine.

Reduce heat to low and continue to let simmer, stirring occasionally, until your desired thickness and creaminess is reached. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Flour for Depth 🔥
Lightly toast the flour in the dairy-free butter for 1-2 minutes before adding milk to create a rich, nutty roux that enhances the overall flavor complexity of your creamed corn.
Caramelize the Onions First 🧅
Sauté diced onions in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden and sweet before adding other ingredients—this builds a flavorful foundation that transforms the dish.
Reserve Corn Liquid for Creaminess 🌽
Save the liquid from your canned corn and use it in place of some dairy-free milk to deepen the corn flavor and create a naturally creamier texture without extra thickeners.
Whisk Constantly for Lump-Free Sauce 🥄
When combining your flour roux with dairy-free milk, add it slowly while whisking continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a silky, restaurant-quality creamed corn.
Balance Sweet and Savory 🧂
Add sugar gradually and taste as you go—a pinch enhances natural sweetness, but too much masks the corn's delicate flavor; adjust salt and black pepper at the end for perfect seasoning.
