Soak corn cobs in water for about 3 hours, weighing them down to prevent floating.

Look for large kernels on the corn for freshness.

Grill the soaked corn cobs, some open and some closed, until cooked.

Prepare crema by combining 1 cup of cream with 1 tablespoon of buttermilk and letting it set for about 12 hours or overnight.

Spread crema generously on one corn cob using gloves, as it will be hot.

Sprinkle feta cheese on top of the corn with crema.

For another corn cob, spread mayonnaise and sprinkle parmesan cheese on it.

Roll the corn cob in parmesan cheese if making multiple.

Sprinkle chili powder on the corn cobs, with an option to use cayenne.

Squeeze lime juice over the corn cobs.

Optionally, add chopped cilantro on top before serving.
