Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Brown-sugar syrup:
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
Kosher salt
Ice cream:
6 ears of corn, husked
2 13.5-14-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Garnishes:
1 cup salted, roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Finely grated lime zest
Ingredient info: Canned unsweetened coconut milk can be found at Indian, Latin, and Southeast Asian markets and many supermarkets.
Special Equipment
An ice cream maker

Steps:

  • For brown-sugar syrup:
  • Toast coriander seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; crush with the bottom of a small pan or with a mortar and pestle.
  • Stir sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add coriander and peppercorns; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Strain; cover and chill for up to 1 month.
  • For ice cream:
  • Using the large holes on a box grater, coarsely grate corn kernels from cobs into a large bowl; reserve cobs. Heat coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost simmering. Add grated corn, corn cobs, and condensed milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 hour. Discard cobs.
  • Strain corn mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Whisk in salt. Cover corn ice cream base; chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Process ice cream base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.
  • For garnishes:
  • Scoop ice cream into bowls. Drizzle some brown-sugar syrup over. Garnish with peanuts and lime zest.

PHILADELPHIA-STYLE ICE CREAM BASE



Philadelphia-Style Ice Cream Base image

Made without eggs, this ice cream is much less rich than those made with a custard base. The lack of eggs also allows the flavorings to shine through, making it a light in texture yet intense in taste. Using a combination of granulated sugar and liquid sugar (corn syrup, honey or agave syrup) helps keep the texture smooth and silky.

COCONUT CARAMELS

Making your own candy may seem daunting, but time and attention are all you need. This recipe calls for two sugars: granulated, which provides the base for your caramel, and an inverted sugar, corn syrup, which stabilizes and keeps the caramel from crystalizing. The line between soft-chewy and hard candy is a delicate one, so a candy thermometer is recommended for precision. Ginger and cardamom will add a nice zing, but lean into other warm spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper or chili powder, if that's what you have on hand. A final coat of toasted, finely shredded coconut lends an almost buttery crunch, and prevents the pieces from sticking. Wrap up individually if you have the time: These are made for sharing and can be frozen for up to a month.

Time 1h

Yield About 72 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup/85 grams shredded, unsweetened coconut flakes
Coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1 (13-ounce/390-gram) can coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut flakes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until light golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Brush an 8-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil or coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle about 3 to 4 tablespoons of toasted coconut in an even layer on the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
  • In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the coconut cream, sugar, corn syrup and sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil, stirring frequently especially toward the end, until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees and caramel is a light golden brown and thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the ginger and cardamom.
  • Pour the caramel into the prepared pan. Once the caramel stops bubbling and the surface forms a thin skin, about 3 minutes, sprinkle another 4 tablespoons toasted coconut across the surface. Allow to cool at room temperature and set completely, about 2 hours.
  • Run a spatula around the sides of the baking dish, loosen and lift the caramel, and move onto a board or clean surface.
  • Slice the caramel into 8 (1-inch-wide) strips, then across into 1/2-inch pieces, so you have about 72 caramels. Roll the sides of each piece in more toasted coconut. Wrap as individual sweets using 4- to 5-inch squares of parchment, wax paper, or cellophane, or use store-bought candy wrappers, twisting the ends to seal. Store at room temperature in a cool dry place. Caramels will keep stored at room temp for up to 7 days or frozen after wrapping for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk is thicker and creamier than canned coconut milk, and it will give your ice cream a richer flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients before making the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor. This will help to create a smooth and creamy ice cream.
  • Don't over churn the ice cream. Over churning will make the ice cream tough and icy.
  • Serve the ice cream immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This coconut corn ice cream with brown sugar syrup and peanuts is a delicious and refreshing summer treat. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of coconut, corn, brown sugar, and peanuts is a perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and crunch.
