Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Put oil in a baking pan.
In a big bowl, mix together the frozen corn, cream cheese, melted butter, milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything together until all ingredients are mixed well and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Put the corn mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until warm and slightly golden on the surface.
Take out of the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top.
Serve the dish hot and creamy, directly from the oven.
Reminders:
For more flavor, use whole milk instead of regular milk.
Add some grated cheddar cheese to make a cheesy version of the corn casserole.
Use Greek yogurt instead of some of the cream cheese for a slightly tangy flavor.
Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top before baking for a crispy crust.
Wait for 5 minutes after baking before serving to make it easier to scoop.
This very creamy and rich corn casserole has a smooth and luxurious texture thanks to the combination of cream cheese, butter, and cream. It's like a beautiful concert of corn!
