Recipe Notes

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

Make ahead: Prepare the corn up to one day before serving. Let it cool slightly, then transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate promptly.

Store leftovers: Keep leftover honey butter corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of milk if the sauce needs loosening. You can also microwave individual portions in short intervals, stirring between each.

Freezing: This dish is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated. Freezing can change the cream cheese sauce’s texture, making it grainy or separated after thawing.
