Grilled Corn in a Cup
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 5 ears fresh corn
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Southwestern ancho chile seasoning (such as Penzeys Arizona Dreaming)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
Instructions
1
Heat up your outdoor grill to a medium temperature and lightly brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
2
Grill the corn on the cob, rotating it every now and then, until it develops a nice caramelized exterior, taking around 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the corn to cool down completely before it's safe to handle, which should take at least 15 minutes. Once cooled, carefully remove the kernels from their cobs to get approximately 2 cups of corn.
3
Combine heavy cream, softened butter, fresh lime juice, ancho chile powder, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Gently fold in crumbled cotija cheese until well incorporated. Pour the creamy mixture over the corn kernels and serve immediately, or let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
