Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (about 3 ears)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Fine-mesh sieve
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Ice cream maker (optional)
  • Loaf pan or freezer-safe container

Method
 

  1. Cut fresh corn kernels off the cob and combine with milk and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.
  2. Heat gently over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges, then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the mixture into a blender and blitz until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow, then slowly pour the warm corn mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring nonstop until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Let the custard cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a no-churn option, freeze the mixture in a loaf pan, stirring every hour until fully set. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
