  • A&M's Testing Notes: This ice cream is a good one for beginners to tackle -- it's a relatively simple, basic process, elevated by a seriously cool concept. I ended up steeping the corn and cobs in the milk mixture...

Probably...the ingredients are the same.

Do you think this recipe could be made into a nice little sweet corn pudding? It could be baked in ramekins and served with grilled chicken or meat. Or fish. Or vegetables (I am a vegetarian.). For this I would decrease the sugar. Your thoughts?

wowow...what a recipe that is different from any that I have tasted before and it is so just what I want for the big weekend . While everyone else is slaving over a hot grill roasting corn I will be spooning this nectar straight from the bowl. Do you make a barbeque rib flavor too?

Mary, I've been playing around with my ice cream maker all summer (I made cucumber ice cream!) and had it in mind to do something very similar to this, but we're so busy at work this month that I don't have time to think about cooking much less create recipes. Love this!

Cucumber ice cream sounds refreshing!

What an incredibly cool (no pun intended) and creative idea!! I've had garlic ice cream, of course at the Gilroy garlic festival some years ago, and surprisingly liked it, so I know that vegetables can make really interesting ice creams. Love this idea!

Thanks...I have never made ice cream before so this was a difficult recipe for me to create...lots of thought about fat content and the balance of all the ingredients.

Major congrats to you on attempting something so creative for your first foray into ice cream making. You're right, there's a lot of balancing involved in the flavor, fat and sugar. I'm substituting honey and/or agave nectar for granulated sugar these days for all my ice creams and sorbets and I could see honey with this one. Really great job, Mary.
