Ingredients
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
1 cup whole milk
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon sweet corn extract
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Combine the cream base: In a medium saucepan or mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, salt, and sweet corn extract until the sugar fully dissolves and the liquid is smooth. This creates the decadent corn-flavored ice cream foundation.
Chill the mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to deepen the flavors and ensure smooth texture.
Churn to perfection: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions until thick and creamy.
Freeze until firm: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for about 4 hours or until scoopable. Serve chilled for the best corn-forward flavor.
Recipe Note
10 FAQ
How much sweet corn extract should I use?
Start with 1 teaspoon; adjust up to 2 teaspoons if your extract is mild or you'd like a stronger corn taste.
What if I don’t have an ice cream maker?
Use the no-churn method: whisk the base, freeze in a shallow container, and stir vigorously every 30 minutes until creamy.
Is this recipe dairy-free compatible?
Yes—substitute with full-fat coconut cream and plant-based milk for a rich, dairy-free alternative.
Can I mix in corn kernels or other add-ins?
Yes—fold in roasted corn kernels, crushed waffle cone bits, or caramel swirls after churning but before freezing.
Does the extract hold up after freezing?
Yes—sweet corn extract is stable in freeze-thaw conditions and maintains flavor (as noted for water-soluble extracts).
Can this be made in advance for parties?
Absolutely—make ahead and store in an airtight container; best enjoyed within one week for optimal texture and flavor.
Is sweet corn extract safe for those with corn allergies?
Many corn extracts don’t contain corn and may be suitable—but always check the specific product and consult healthcare if uncertain.
What texture should I expect?
This recipe yields a velvety, custard-like ice cream with smooth mouthfeel and gentle corn aroma.
Any suggestions to deepen flavor?
Add a touch of vanilla or swirl in honey-caramel to complement the sweet corn’s warmth.
How long does the ice cream last in the freezer?
Properly stored, it keeps well for up to 2 weeks—best enjoyed sooner for peak creaminess.
