Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 4 oz plant-based cream cheese
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural) or agave syrup (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (natural)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Variations
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 1/2 cup plant-based shredded cheddar (plant-based)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or finely chopped jalapeños for chunky texture
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn and Ingredients: Whether using fresh or frozen corn kernels, ensure they are cleaned and ready. Gather all other ingredients and set your Crock Pot to low heat for slow, even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: Add the corn kernels, plant-based cream cheese, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), maple syrup or agave (natural), natural gelling agent, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the Crock Pot. Stir gently to mix all ingredients well.
- Slow Cook for Creamy Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Halfway through, gently stir the mixture to promote even cooking and enhance creaminess. The natural gelling agent will thicken the mixture as it simmers.
- Final Touches and Serving: When the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust salt or sweetness as desired. For a thicker texture, cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. Serve warm for the best creamy experience.
Notes
- Use fresh corn when possible for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent uneven cooking and maintain creaminess.
- Use the natural gelling agent carefully to keep the texture smooth but not too thick.
- Cook on low heat to allow flavors to blend deeply and enrich the dish.
- Add natural sweetener gradually at the end to balance the sweetness perfectly.
