Ingredients in Healthy Creamed Corn
Each ear of corn will yield about 1 cup of corn kernels. So if you prefer to make this recipe with frozen corn, you will need 5 cups of corn.
This won’t change the flavor too much, but you will likely want to add in the sugar as you won’t have all the sweet corn “milk” in the recipe.
