sweet corn ice cream!

i saw this recipe and was intrigued.. my friend, aletheia, had made corn cookies that i really liked... i feel like another friend has had corn ice cream at some artisan place.. so i wanted to try this recipe!

it was pretty good... i think i would have liked it to be a lil sweeter.. and i ate it plain.. but reading online, they recommended eating it w/ like a fruit pie or a fruity dessert...

from carries sweet life

• 2 ears corn
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Set a box grater in a large bowl. Using the large holes, grate corn kernels (and their “milk”) off the cobs. Discard cobs.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, milk, and corn. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick. When cream mixture reaches a simmer, slowly ladle 1/2 cup of it into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Repeat with another 1/2-cup ladleful. Reduce heat to low, whisk warmed egg mixture into saucepan, and cook, whisking, until mixture thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.

Pour mixture into a medium bowl, stir in vanilla, cover with plastic wrap (letting the wrap sit directly on the mixture’s surface), and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight plastic container and freeze up to overnight.
