1. Sweet Corn Pudding: The Golden Comfort

Let’s kick things off with Sweet Corn Pudding. It’s a warm, velvety pudding that’s rich, creamy, and dotted with the sweetness of corn. It’s the kind of dessert, other than the classic Chocolate Pudding, that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Ingredients:

  • 300 gm Fresh sweet corn kernels (about 2 large ears of corn)
  • 500 ml Whole milk
  • 100 gm Sugar
  • 30 gm Cornflour
  • 30 gm Unsalted butter
  • 5 ml Vanilla extract
  • A pinch of Salt
  • 5 gm Ground cinnamon (optional, but recommended for a warm spice touch)

Instructions:

  1. Corn Magic: Start by blending the sweet corn kernels with half of the milk (250 ml) until smooth. If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can strain the mixture to remove the pulp, but leaving it in gives the pudding more texture.
  2. Whisk Away: In a saucepan, whisk together the corn-milk mixture, the remaining milk, sugar, and cornflour until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Butter It Up: Once thickened, remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt. The butter will add a luscious richness that makes this pudding irresistible.
  4. Cinnamon Twist: If you're feeling a bit adventurous, sprinkle in some ground cinnamon. It adds a warm, cozy flavor that pairs perfectly with the corn's natural sweetness.
  5. Chill and Serve: Pour the pudding into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least two hours until set. Serve it chilled and enjoy!

2. Sweet Corn Ice Cream: The Creamy, Dreamy Delight

Now, let’s talk about ice cream. Sweet Corn Ice Cream might sound a bit unconventional, but this is one of the best sweet recipes. Once you taste its unique blend of creamy sweetness and subtle corn flavor, you’ll be hooked. If you are, this can be your way of adding a twist to Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream.

Ingredients:

  • 250 gm Fresh sweet corn kernels (about 1.5 large ears of corn)
  • 300 ml Heavy cream
  • 200 ml Whole milk
  • 150 gm Sugar
  • 4 large Egg yolks
  • 5 ml Vanilla extract
  • A pinch of Salt

Instructions:

  1. Corn Infusion: Start by simmering the sweet corn kernels with the milk and half of the cream (150 ml) in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it reaches a simmer, remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the corn flavor to infuse.
  2. Blend and Strain: Blend the corn mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove the pulp. You’ll be left with a beautifully flavored corn-infused cream base.
  3. Custard Creation: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and slightly thickened. Gradually pour the warm corn-infused cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  4. Heat It Up: Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about five to six minutes. Do not let it boil!
  5. Cool It Down: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the remaining cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Churn It: Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour it into a shallow dish, freeze it, and stir it every 30 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Scoop and Savor: Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze until firm, about two hours. Scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness.
