Heat the olive oil in a large pan with high sides over medium heat. Add the shallots into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream and whole milk into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whisk in the flour, followed by the sugar. Then stir in the corn. Add the butter. Simmer for 5-6 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives.
Notes
Don't boil the cream and milk as it can separate. Instead, gently simmer it.
Thaw your sweetcorn before adding it to the skillet, or the liquid can become too watery.
Shallots are a little sweeter and have a milder falvor so they work great in this dish. You can use a white onion in a pinch.
