How To Make esquites/ creamy corn cups

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water sugared(about 3 Tablespoons sugar.) to a boil over medium-hi heat. Add the corn and cook until tender about 7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the corn to a platter and allow them to cool ever so slightly. Using a serrated knife or a corn remover utensil, remove kernels from the cob. Place corn in a bowl with the Crema Mexicana, butter, and cheese, Divide mixture between 4 individual small glasses or cups. Sprinkle chili powder and salt on top to taste. Squeeze on a little lime juice. Oh this is to die for !!!
