Ingredients

  • 2 fresh corn cobs
  • 100 ml water
  • 200 g heavy cream
  • 20 g granulated sugar

Instructions

Corn Preparation

  • Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Using a knife, scrape the kernels off the cobs and place them into a blender.
  • Add 100ml water to the blender. Blend the corn until smooth. If your blender has low power, blend multiple times to ensure there are no large particles.
  • Strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve into a container, removing any solids to get smooth corn juice. Set aside.

Whipping the Cream

  • In a clean, dry bowl, pour in 200g heavy cream and add 20g granulated sugar.
  • Start whipping the cream with an electric mixer on low speed. Once streaks begin to form, increase to medium-high speed.
  • Whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can lead to separation.

Combining Ingredients

  • Slowly pour the prepared corn juice into the whipped cream while mixing on low speed.
  • Use an electric mixer on low speed to gently blend the corn juice and whipped cream together until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

Shaping and Freezing

  • Pipe the mixture into corn-shaped molds. If using standard popsicle molds, insert sticks before filling.
  • Leave a small amount of space at the top of the molds to allow for expansion during freezing.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
