- Yield: 1 quart
- Category: Ice Cream
- Method: Churned
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp dried milk powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups whole milk, divided
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ear sweet corn, kernels cut off and cob reserved
Instructions
- Whisk sugar and dried milk together in a small bowl. Place cornstarch in another small bowl and whisk in about 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine the remaining milk, cream, corn syrup, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often to prevent scorching, and cook at a vigorous boil for 2 minutes.
- Reduce to a gentle simmer and whisk in sugar mixture. Cook, whisking, for 2 full minutes.
- Whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook another 2- 3 minutes or until it thickens.
- Transfer to a large bowl. Add vanilla and corn kernels, and use a butter knife to scrape the corn cob to release the corn milk into the bowl. Place bowl in an ice bath and stir to rapidly cool, mashing corn against the bowl to release flavor. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to freeze the custard, strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down on corn to squeeze out any liquid.
- Churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- When ice cream reaches a soft serve consistency, transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm or serve as is.
