    Vegan creamed corn is an easy to prepare side dish great for the holidays or served with almost any meal. A dairy free creamed corn recipe that comes together in about 20 minutes that's both gluten free and refined sugar free.

    vegan creamed corn garnished with freshly cracked black pepper in a white bowl with blue trim.

    Homemade creamed corn is sweet, creamy and tastes so much better than anything you can get in a can.

    A simple side dish made with tender sweet corn in a creamy delicious plant based sauce.

    This cream style corn is perfect served along side these maple glazed carrots and homemade cranberry sauce.

    An easy to make holiday side that the whole family is going love!

    Ingredients needed

    ingredients in vegan creamed corn.
    • Almond milk- unsweetened organic almond milk or any other plant based milk such as cashew or coconut milk.
    • Sweet corn- Use frozen corn or fresh corn for best results.
    • Cream cheese- I love this brand of dairy free cream cheese , but you can substitute with regular cream cheese if you don't need it to be vegan.
    • Tapioca flour- can substitute with organic corn starch.
    • Vegan butter- this is the vegan butter that I used. Regular butter can be used in place of it.
    • Garlic- two cloves minced.
    • Olive oil- unrefined virgin olive oil.
    • Seasonings- thyme, salt and pepper to taste.

      You know, creamed corn gets such a bad rep because of that canned stuff that has the nerve to call itself by the same name, but homemade creamed corn is a completely different beast. So good.
