Silky sweet corn and tart raspberries are paired together in this recipe for sweet corn and raspberry swirl ice cream. It's a summer must-have!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 ear sweet corn, husked
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
For the raspberry sauce
  • 2 cups raspberries
  • 1 cup sugar
Instructions
  1. To make the raspberry sauce, combine the berries and sugar in a small saucepan. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, and cook until mixture reaches 220F. Allow to cool slightly, then force through a fine mesh sieve to separate out the seeds. Refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours or overnight.
  2. For the ice cream, slice the kernels from the corn cob into a bowl. Run the back of your knife against the cob to scrape out as much of the corn “milk” as possible, reserving as much of the liquid as possible.
  3. Mix 2 tbsp of the whole milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl until it forms a slurry.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and salt until smooth.
  5. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Set aside.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining milk, cream, sugar, corn, corn “milk” and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow to boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and force it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Again, mash the corn casings against the side of the sieve to release as much corn “milk” as possible into the custard. Discard the corn casings.
  7. Return the custard to the saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Bring back to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, about 1 minute.
  8. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese until smooth. Pour into a 1 gallon Ziploc bag, seal closed, and submerge in the ice water bath. Place in the refrigerator and let chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
  9. Pour the ice cream custard into a frozen ice cream maker canister. Churn until thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  10. Pack the ice cream into a storage container, alternating it with drizzles of the raspberry sauce. Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.
