Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pound(s) frozen corn kernels
1 cup(s) half and half
1 tablespoon(s) kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon(s) ground white pepper
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) diced leak
1/2 cup(s) poblano pepper, roasted / skinned / seeded / diced
1 pound(s) raw bacon, diced
1 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In advance: roast the poblano pepper by broiling it 2-4 minutes on each side, until skin chars. Remove from oven and place in a medium bowl; cover with saran wrap to loosen skin. Peel skin, remove seeds, and dice.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread corn on a large pan and roast in preheated oven 10 minutes to warm it. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine whipping cream, kosher salt, cayenne and white pepper and bring to a simmer. In a blender, combine half & half, sugar, cornstarch, and half the corn and puree until smooth. Add corn mixture from blender to simmering cream mixture. Continue to cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat, combine butter, leek, poblanos and bacon and cook 5 minutes, or until bacon is cooked through. Add remaining corn, then add sauce from medium saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Check temperature and heat through if needed. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste
