Can you turn sweet corn into a premium frozen dessert?
In short: While corn might seem like an unlikely dessert ingredient in North America, sweet corn ice cream is a popular flavour in Asia. This video demonstrates how to transform frozen corn into a rich, creamy custard-based treat.
The process begins by blending 500 mL of frozen sweet corn with 500 mL of 35% whipping cream until fully liquefied. This mixture is then simmered with additional heavy cream and tempered into egg yolks and sugar.
After cooking the custard to 170ºF and adding vanilla extract, the mixture is chilled and churned in an ice cream maker. The result is a smooth, seasonal dessert that challenges traditional flavour expectations.
