Step 1

Preheat broiler to high. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs. Once removed, hold the cobs over the corn and scrape with a butter knife to release the “juice”.

Step 2

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan and sauté the corn until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Wipe out the saucepan then place back over medium-low heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly golden and nutty, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and milk and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to boil and thicken. Add the sugar, cheese and a pinch of salt and whisk until cheese has melted. Stir in the corn and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add more salt if needed.

Step 4

Divide the mixture between 4-6 small ramekins or one larger oven-proof dish. Sprinkle the tops with an even layer of Demerara sugar, about 1 tablespoon per ramekin, if using. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until sugar has caramelized and brown, 3-5 minutes (keep an eye on it!). Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch.
