This is one of my favorite ways to use delicious fresh sweet corn when it comes in season. It is my husbands absolute favorite. The corn I bought the other day could not have been any better for this. It's like eating candy! My Grandma used to make hers similar, although she never used the heavy cream. Actually I think she used...
