I have made this recipe twice now. Used fresh super sweet corn I cut off the cob and milk I scraped out the second time. Used less butter and less honey because well corn is already super sweet. I also only used 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Wow I recommend going fresh.

@Roberta, I wouldn't think so because of the dairy in the recipe.
