Description

This Sweetcorn Fondue transforms simple frozen kernels into a luxuriously smooth and creamy dip with minimal effort. By blending the corn and thickening it with cornflour and cream, you achieve a rich, velvety texture that is naturally sweet and comforting. It serves as an elegant yet easy side dish or appetizer, particularly delightful when paired with cooked prawns, mussels, or crusty bread. The addition of a hint of Tabasco adds a subtle kick that balances the sweetness of the corn. Ideal for casual gatherings or a cozy dinner at home, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality results using ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. It is vegetarian-friendly and quick to prepare, making it a reliable favorite for any occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the frozen sweetcorn kernels in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for a few minutes until the corn is tender.
  3. Drain the corn thoroughly, reserving a little liquid if needed for blending.
  4. Transfer the drained corn into a blender.
  5. Blend until the mixture is soft and pulpy, but retain some texture (do not make it completely smooth).
  6. In a separate small saucepan, whisk the cornflour with the single cream until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  7. Pour the blended corn mixture into the saucepan with the cream mixture.
  8. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the fondue thickens and becomes smooth.
  9. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a few drops of Tabasco sauce to taste.
  10. Remove from heat and beat in the butter until melted and incorporated.
  11. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or serving bowl.
  12. Keep warm over a low burner or candle until ready to serve.
