This weeknight pizza introduces the topping you didn’t know you catch been missing: creamed corn. Blitzing raw corn kernels with ricotta, Parmesan, heavy cream, and olive oil creates a rapid and lush creamed-corn sauce. Intriguing, salty, and smoky pepperoni complements the creamy sauce, while smoked mozzarella brings a preferrred deeper dimension to the pizza (but regular mozzarella also works). Be sure to top the performed pizza with loads of vivid basil for a colossal-recent hit. Even supposing this recipe works most realistic seemingly with recent corn, thawed frozen corn is a handsome change.
