Corn Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Make the custard: Whisk the corn, half-and-half, sour cream, sugar and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Lightly beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of the warm corn mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then pour into the saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the hot custard to a blender and pulse until smooth (keep the filler cap slightly open to let steam escape). Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard the solids. Stir often until the mixture cools to room temperature. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl of custard in a bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
• Freeze the cold custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
• Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Top with caramel corn or a splash of bourbon, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine the corn kernels, cobs and half-and-half in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook until bubbles appear at the edges of the pan; continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep for 1 hour.
• Stand the cooled cobs up in the pan. Scrape a blunt knife against each one to release any remaining liquid, then discard the cobs. Transfer the corn kernel mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Make the custard: Whisk together the pureed corn mixture, sugar, sour cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Lightly beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of the warm corn mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then pour into the saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Let the custard cool slightly, then transfer to a blender, filling it only halfway (do in batches if needed). Put on the lid, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard the solids. Repeat with any remaining custard.
• Stir the mixture often until it cools to room temperature. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl of custard in a bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
• Freeze the cold custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
• Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Top with caramel corn or a splash of bourbon, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan combine the corn, the cream, and the granulated sugar and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes. In a food processor, or in a blender in batches, purée the corn mixture and strain the purée through a fine sieve set over the pan, cleaned, pressing hard on the solids. Add the milk and the bourbon and bring the mixture just to a boil. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the brown sugar, add the corn mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170°F. on a candy thermometer, strain it through the sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely. Freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Mix the milk, corn starch, sugar and eggs in blender.
• Put mixture in medium sized pot, and bring to a boil.
• Then add vanilla and corn.
• Mix well, and place in freezer safe bowl.
• Check it in a few hours, when it starts to freeze, stir it (so corn doesn't all end up on the bottom).
• Freeze a few more hours, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Using a large knife, slice kernels from cobs; place in a large saucepan. Cut or break cobs into thirds; add to pot with milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring; turn off heat. Remove cobs, and discard. Using an immersion blender or a blender, puree mixture. Infuse for 1 hour by covering the pan with a tight-fitting lid.
• Uncover, bring to a simmer, and turn off heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Add a cup of hot cream to yolks, stirring constantly so they do not curdle. Add the yolk mixture to saucepan, stirring. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Pass custard through a coarse sieve, then through a fine sieve or chinois, pressing down on solids; discard solids. Let custard cool. Cover; chill at least 4 hours. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve garnished with blackberries.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, heat the milk, sugar and syrup until bubbles form around sides of pan. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly., Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160°. Quickly transfer to a bowl; place in ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in corn and vanilla. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight., Strain custard, discarding corn. Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. When ice cream is frozen, transfer to a freezer container; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.
