  •  8 ears of corn, shucked     
  • 4 sprigs tarragon plus chopped leaves for serving    
  • 1 cup heavy cream    
  • 1 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper    
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

Cut corn kernels from cobs and set aside. Using the back of a knife and working over a large dish, scrape each cob to extract as much milk as possible. Bring corn milk, cobs, tarragon sprigs, cream, and 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Strain cream mixture into another large saucepan; discard solids. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, 20–25 minutes. Add reserved corn kernels and simmer until soft, 5–10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer ⅓ of corn mixture to a blender; add Parmesan and purée until smooth. Stir purée back into corn mixture.
  • Serve creamed corn sprinkled with chopped tarragon.
