Fill a large stockpot halfway with water and place it on the stovetop.
Add heavy cream, milk, butter, honey, Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper to the pot.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts and the milk is warmed, but not boiling.

Carefully remove the corn from the pot and place it on a serving platter to cool slightly before serving.
