Instructions: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the ears of corn and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook the corn in an instant pot.
(Optional step): Brush corn with melted butter and grill corn on medium heat until slightly charred.
Mix the mayonnaise and Mexican crema together and spread a thin layer all around the corn ears.
