Prepare the corn by husking and removing kernels from the cob.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels and cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine.
Add sugar, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
If desired, add paprika for additional flavor.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.
