Saute. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the shallot and saute until translucent.
Add the corn. Stir in the corn, heavy cream, sugar, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a light boil before reducing the heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to give the flavors a chance to meld.
Thicken things up. While the corn is cooking, whisk together the cornstarch and milk. Stir the mixture into the corn mixture. Cook for 5 minutes or so or until the sauce has thickened up.
Puree. Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a food processor and puree until somewhat smooth but also still chunky (make it as smooth or as chunky as you’d like).
Season. Taste the creamed corn and pulse in salt and pepper as desired.
