Sweet Corn Ice Cream

Are you looking for something new and extraordinary to impress your beloved people? Here is our recipe suggestion for  Sweet Corn Ice Cream!

Ice Cream Journal, 2009

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin

1 tablespoon of water

2 cups of corn kernels

2 cups of low-fat milk

1 14-ounce can nonfat sweetened condensed milk

3 large egg yolks

 1 cup of buttermilk

 

How to make?

1. Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl; let stand, stirring once or twice, while you make the base for the ice cream.

2. Combine corn and milk in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until steaming. Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks in a large bowl until combined. Gradually pour the hot milk and corn into the egg yolk mixture, whisking until blended. Return the mixture to the pan

and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the back of the spoon is lightly coated, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil.

3. Remove from heat and, using an immersion blender, puree the custard. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl; press on the solids to extract the liquid. Whisk the gelatin into the custard until melted. Whisk in buttermilk. Transfer to the refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 1/2 hours and up to 1 day.

4. Whisk the ice cream mixture and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. If necessary, place the ice cream in the freezer to firm up before serving.

Bon appetite!

Cranberry Nut Swirls

Here is the amazing recipe for Cranberry Nut Swirls that Teresa Ambra sent to us!

Can’t Stay of The Kitchen, 2012

Ingredients:

½ cup butter, softened

¾ cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 ½ cups flour

¼ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

½ cup finely ground cranberries

½ cup finely chopped walnuts

1 table spoon of grated orange peel

½ cup brown sugar

2 tsp. milk

 

How to make?

In a large mixing bowl, combine first four ingredients. Beat until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl occasionally. Combine dry ingredients; add to the creamed mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine cranberries, walnuts and orange peel; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10-inch square. Combine brown sugar and milk; spread over dough. Sprinkle with the cranberry mixture, leaving about a ½-inch edge at both ends of dough; roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Wrap with waxed paper; chill several hours or overnight. Cut roll into ¼-inch slices and place on well-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375° for 14-15 minutes or until edges are light brown (I cooked about 18 minutes at 350). Yield: about 3 ½ dozen.

Note: 

1 bag of cranberries = 2 cups shredded cranberries. Avoid the tendency to overcook these cookies because they don’t look done after 14-15 minutes. Once they get to the lightly browned stage all over they will become crispy cookies, which is not what they are supposed to turn out like.

Bon appetite!
