heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

Processed cheese is more affordable and melts well.

Shuck the corn and leave the stem on for a handle.

Cut out any bad spots on the corn with a knife.

Using a short knife, cut the kernels off the cob, making sure to leave some texture.

Scrape the cobs with the knife to release the corn milk, also known as 'milking the corn'.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the creamed corn to it.

Add a pinch of kosher salt and a pinch of sugar to the corn.

Cook the corn for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add water, about a tablespoon at a time, to prevent sticking, using up to 1/4 to 1/3 cup total.

Once cooked, turn off the heat and add a pat of butter, stirring until melted.
