Tips:

Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.
Char the corn: Charring the corn adds a smoky flavor to the dish. You can char the corn in a grill pan, on a grill, or over an open flame.
Use a heavy cream: Heavy cream gives the creamed corn a rich and creamy texture. You can also use milk or half-and-half, but the creamed corn will be thinner.
Season the creamed corn: Season the creamed corn with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as basil or thyme, for extra flavor.
Serve the creamed corn immediately: Creamed corn is best served immediately after it is made. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good as when it is fresh.

Conclusion:

Charred creamed corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn on the cob, and it can be served with a variety of dishes, such as grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
