When I first made this ice cream no one could guess that the secret ingredient was corn. It's very refreshing. - Judy at Two Broads Abroad —Judy at My Well Seasoned Life
Test Kitchen Notes
Delicious and refreshing! This ice cream has a perfectly smooth and creamy texture thanks to straining out the coconut and corn solids. Ripe summer corn lends an overall sweetness to the ice cream, and relatively little sugar is needed. The next time I make this, I will try using an immersion blender. It will likely alter the texture, but it will save a few dirty dishes. - esantillo —The Editors
