Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Mixture
  • 2 cups Corn Kernels Frozen or fresh is preferred; canned can throw off flavor.
  • 1 cup Diced Hatch Green Chiles Choose the heat level to match your preference; substitutions can include Anaheim peppers.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with half-and-half, although this may alter consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Use salted butter if unsalted isn't available, but reduce salt elsewhere.
For Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Adjust or omit based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust based on dietary needs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground is recommended for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Red Pepper Optional for those seeking extra spice.
For the Creaminess
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can substitute with lower-fat milk, adjusting for consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Flour can be used as an alternative, increasing to 2 tablespoons.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Small bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn kernels, diced Hatch green chiles, heavy cream, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, black pepper, and ground red pepper. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients, and let them cook together for about 5 minutes until the butter has melted and everything is warmed through.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together whole milk and cornstarch to create a smooth slurry. Pour the slurry into the corn mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes.
  3. Bring the creamed corn mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Allow it to cook for about 10–15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  4. Taste your Hatch Green Chile Creamed Corn and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or pepper to enhance the flavors. Once satisfied, remove from heat and serve warm.
