Ingredients

  • 4 ears sweet corn shucked and silks removed
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch schnapps optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 can 15 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the shucked ears of corn on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove the corn from the oven and cool until it's cool enough to handle.
  • Using a sharp knife or corn stripper to remove all the kernels from the corn and place in a bowl. Stir the salt into the kernels and place in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Break two of the corn cobs (kernels removed) in half and place them in a medium saucepan.
  • Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring the cream to a very low simmer over very low heat. Do NOT boil.
  • After about 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the butter to the pot.
  • Allow the cream to cool and remove the corn cobs. Discard the cobs.
  • Refrigerate the corn infused cream for at least 2 hours, or overnight is best.
  • Once chilled, whip the cold cream in the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (being careful not to overbeat the cream).
  • Meanwhile, add the sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl.
  • Stir the butterscotch schnapps (optional) and vanilla extract to the sweetened milk and stir to combine.
  • Gently fold the whipped corn cream into the sweetened milk mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Gently stir in the corn kernels.
  • Spoon the ice cream mixture into a 9" x 5" loaf pan and freeze at least 4 hours.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Plan ahead when making this ice cream. It's not at all difficult but for the best flavor roasting the corn is key, and making sure the cream mixture is completely chilled before whipping is really important for creamy, delicious ice cream.
