Ingredients

  • 3 large ears fresh yellow corn
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cut kernels from the cobs to yield about 2 ¼ cups, reserving the cobs.
  • In a large pot, combine the corn kernels, reserved cobs, heavy cream, condensed milk, and salt.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until kernels are just tender (about 6 minutes).
  • Transfer mixture to a large heatproof bowl. Refrigerate uncovered, stirring occasionally, until fully chilled (about 3 hours).
  • Remove and discard the cobs, scraping any liquid back into the bowl.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Whisk in corn syrup and vanilla extract.
  • If desired, store the strained kernels separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use as garnish.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the strained cream mixture until aerated and fluffy (about 6 minutes).
  • Spread mixture evenly into a freezer-safe 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  • Place plastic wrap directly on the surface.
  • Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Scoop into bowls and garnish with reserved kernels if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Store, covered, in the freezer for up to 4 weeks. 
It’s very important to steep the cobs with the milk mixture as it adds a ton of flavor so ensure that you add to the kernels and reserved cobs for this step.
