Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Start by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or a little oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine corn, heavy cream, whole milk, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well.
Transfer the mixture into the greased slow cooker and cover it with the lid.
Set it to cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
About 30 minutes before serving, gently mix in cream cheese and shredded cheese.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, add cornstarch mixed with cold water and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Once thickened, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
