BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• Make the ice cream: Set a large bowl in an ice-water bath; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring corn, corn cobs (if using), 3 1/2 cups milk, heavy cream, corn syrup, vanilla bean seeds and pod, and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, to prevent sugar from sticking to the bottom of saucepan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup milk until well combined. Remove corn mixture from heat; slowly add about a third of the hot corn mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined. Pour egg mixture back into saucepan with corn cobs, whisking constantly. Return saucepan to medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, cook until custard mixture coats back of a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes; stir in vanilla extract and salt.
• Pour custard mixture into bowl set in ice-water bath; let cool completely. Transfer custard mixture to refrigerator and let chill overnight.
• Remove corn cobs from custard mixture, squeeze out any excess liquid; discard cobs. Transfer custard mixture to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, discarding solids.
• Transfer custard mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Keep ice cream frozen in an airtight container up to 5 days.
• Make the compote: Place 1 1/2 cups blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, pressing on berries until they burst and mixture begins to look syrupy. Add corn kernels, stir to combine and immediately remove from heat.
• Stir in remaining cup of blueberries. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until cool, up to 24 hours.
• Make the popcorn: Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat; set aside. Butter a large heatproof bowl and add popcorn to bowl; set aside.
• Heat sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over low until butter and sugar melt. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, until sugar mixture becomes golden brown. Remove from heat and carefully add vanilla and salt (mixture may splatter slightly). Pour sugar mixture over popcorn; stir until popcorn is completely coated.
• Turn popcorn out onto prepared baking sheet, working quickly to separate kernels; let cool completely. Transfer popcorn to an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• Make the whipped cream: Place all whipped cream ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk until soft peaks form.
• Place two spoonfuls of blueberry compote in each of 6 large parfait glasses; top with two scoops corn ice cream. Add a large handful of toffee popcorn to each glass and top with another scoop of ice cream. Top each with another spoonful of compote and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with remaining toffee popcorn and serve immediately with cornbread muffins.

BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE SUNDAE

Steps:

• For the blueberry sauce: Combine the blueberries, granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until the berries begin to burst, about 5 minutes.

Pour into a container and let cool, then refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
• For the crumble topping: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, oats, pecans, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Scatter in the butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the heavy cream and egg yolks and pulse a few times just to combine.
• Pat the mixture into an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp with browned edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let cool completely, at least 15 minutes, then crumble.
