Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter for dairy-free, use vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey maple syrup or brown sugar can be substituted

  • 4 ounces cream cheese substitute with dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of salted butter, letting it melt evenly while swirling the pan. Watch for the butter to become bubbly but avoid browning it, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once the butter is melted, pour in 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir the mixture until the honey is fully blended into the butter, creating a smooth sweet-salty base for your Honey Butter Skillet Corn. This process takes another 1-2 minutes, and the aroma should be delightfully inviting.
  3. Pour 2 cups of frozen corn into the skillet, ensuring each kernel gets coated with the honey-butter mixture. Stir regularly, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until the corn is heated through and begins to caramelize slightly. You'll know it's ready when it turns bright yellow and is steaming.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and add 4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into chunks, to the skillet. Stir gently until the cream cheese is completely melted and seamlessly blended with the corn mixture, which should take around 2-3 minutes. The whole dish should take on a creamy texture.
  5. Allow the Honey Butter Skillet Corn to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. The mixture should be bubbling gently and creamy when ready. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture, letting the sweet and savory flavors shine through.
