Time 3h5m

6 cups frozen corn (about 32 ounces), thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Corn: For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can substitute frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will give you the best results.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the kernels off the cob, use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts. A dull knife will crush the kernels and result in a less flavorful slaw.
  • Chop the Vegetables Evenly: Chop the cabbage, carrots, and celery into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly. This will also help the slaw to look more appealing.
  • Use a Light Hand with the Dressing: Don't overload the slaw with dressing. A little bit goes a long way, and you can always add more if needed.
  • Chill the Slaw Before Serving: After you've made the slaw, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Creamy corn slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, there is a creamy corn slaw recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful side dish, give creamy corn slaw a try. You won't be disappointed.
