For an extra smoky flavor, try grilling the corn with the husks on for the first 10 minutes, then remove the husks and grill directly until charred. If you don't have ancho chile seasoning, you can substitute with a mix of chili powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of cumin. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level. For a creamier texture, use Mexican crema instead of heavy cream.
