You’re welcome, Giavanna! It still has some “skins” but it’s mostly cream. Where are you getting excellent fresh sweet corn this time of year?? There are some other step by step recipes in the illustrated category and more to come when I can get “a round tuit”. Good luck with eating raw! Stick with it! It will do you good!

Thank you so much for the step-by-step explanation! I have never seen it done this way…other recipes just say to stick it in a blender or food processor. This looks so much better! And I can bet it tastes much better without the “skins” of the kernels.
I am going to make it tonight for dinner…yumm!!!
So happy I came along this website!
I, too, and pretty new to living raw, and am happy to see not only the recipe, but also the technique used. Its very helpful when you’re new.
Thanks!!!

My mother was a pro when it came to corn!

Thanks for the compliment, Sys! Wish my skin were that nice ALL over but I’ll take it on my hands, at least.

Never thought about using the dull side for “cream”! As soon as corn is in, we’ll be having that for dinner!

A side note, I noticed you have the most beautiful skin on the back of your hands. No “age” spots or freckles, gorgeous!

Yes, I used three ears but you could use two or five or whatever. The measurements for this aren’t critical. If you wanted to make it for yourself and DH, you could use half a dozen. As for the basil, see if you can find a basil PLANT to bring home and set it in a sunny windowsill. It can be expensive to buy fresh basil (I know—I’ve been doing that) and it’s easy to grow. Just keep the buds pinched off so it won’t go to seed, water it now and then and you can have your own basil for months.

Did you use three ears of corn to make that? I want some! I’ll have to find me some corn and some fresh basil.

This looks absolutely delicious. I looked for fresh corn today, but couldn’t find any at the farmer’s market. Going to have to stop by the little produce stand tomorrow.
