6 ears corn, shucked
1 Fresno chile
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 scallions, chopped, white and green parts kept separate
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 ounces cream cheese

Directions
- Cut the kernels from the corn. Cut 2 thin rounds of the Fresno chile and reserve them for garnish. Seed the remaining chile, if desired, then finely chop it.

Add the scallion whites and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender, about 6 minutes. Add the heavy cream and chopped chili and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until melted, then remove from the heat and season with salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the scallion greens and the chile slices.
