Questions about Creamed corn

What is creamed corn, and does it contain dairy cream?

It is sweetcorn with some kernels crushed or puréed into a thick sauce. The name does not guarantee that dairy cream is included; creamed corn can be made without it.

How do you make sweetcorn soup with creamed corn?

Warm it with chicken or vegetable stock for 3–5 minutes, stirring until hot. For a Chinese-style sweetcorn soup, swirl in beaten egg near the end to make soft ribbons.

Can you put creamed corn in fish pie?

Yes. Stir it into the filling before adding the mash, and use less milk or stock than usual because the corn adds moisture and thickens the sauce.

What can you use instead of creamed corn?

Blitz some sweetcorn with a splash of milk or stock, then stir it back through whole kernels. If the mixture needs thickening, add a little cornflour mixed with cold water.

How long does opened creamed corn keep in the fridge?

Transfer leftovers from the tin to a clean, covered container and refrigerate within two hours. The Food Standards Agency advises using refrigerated leftovers within two days.

Can you freeze creamed corn?

Yes. Freeze it in portions, thaw it in the fridge and reheat until piping hot, stirring well; freezing can make the sauce a little watery or grainy.

Is creamed corn the same as cream-style sweetcorn?

They usually mean sweetcorn with some kernels puréed into a thick sauce. The exact texture and seasoning can differ between products.
