Chris Creamed Corn Recipe

This creamed corn from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is rich, buttery, and has just the right balance of sweetness and savory goodness.
Heavy cream and whole milk give it that smooth, velvety texture, while a little butter rounds everything out.
A touch of nutmeg may seem unexpected, but it brings out the natural sweetness of the corn without overpowering it.
What makes this dish so good is how the cream thickens just enough to coat the corn, instead of turning into a soupy mess.
Let it simmer just long enough to thicken—too much heat will make it separate, and too little will leave it runny!
