Ingredients

  • 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: chili powder or paprika, for garnish

How to Make Creamy Corn on the Cob

  1. Start by shucking the corn, removing the husks and silk. Rinse the corn under cold water and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly.
  4. While the corn is cooling, prepare the herb drizzle. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped parsley, chives, and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. To serve, place the corn on a platter. Generously drizzle the creamy sauce over each ear of corn, followed by a drizzle of the herb mixture. If desired, sprinkle with chili powder or paprika for an extra kick.
  6. Enjoy immediately while the corn is warm and the flavors are fresh!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh, in-season corn for the sweetest flavor.
  • Adjust the cream mixture to your taste; add more lime juice for tang or more garlic powder for a stronger kick.
  • If grilling, brush the corn with olive oil and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning frequently for a smoky flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the herbs for cilantro and lime for a zesty twist.
  • Add crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese for an added layer of flavor.
  • Spice it up with diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce in the creamy sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
  • BBQ ribs for a classic summer cookout.
  • A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the corn.
  • Baked beans for a traditional picnic spread.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap the corn in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. The creamy sauce is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it separately and drizzle over the corn before serving.
