Step 3: Pour in the Cream

Once the corn is warmed through, add the heavy cream. Stir it in and allow the mixture to simmer.

The cream enriches the sauce and helps it cling to the corn, giving the dish its signature silky texture.

Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Melt the Cream Cheese

Add the cream cheese in small chunks and stir until it melts fully into the mixture.

This step gives the dish a luxurious creaminess without making it heavy.

Keep cooking until everything blends into a smooth, velvety sauce.

Step 5: Season and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. A pinch of salt brings out the sweetness of the corn and balances the honey perfectly.

Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot and glossy.
