Provided by Martha Stewart

Time 4h

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cream, corn, and basil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, remove from heat, and cover. Let steep 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in half of milk mixture. Pour egg-milk mixture back into pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Pour custard through a fine sieve into a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water; discard solids. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour; custard can be refrigerated up to 2 days ahead.
  • Chill a loaf pan in freezer at least 10 minutes. Freeze and churn custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, then transfer to pan. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until hardened, at least 2 hours; ice cream can be frozen up to 2 weeks ahead.

This is the worst ice cream I have ever tasted. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This ice cream is way too sweet. I couldn't even finish it.

The flavor of this ice cream is very artificial. I think it would be better if it was made with fresh corn and basil.

This ice cream is a bit too icy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been churned for a longer period of time.

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn, but it eventually turned out fine. The flavor is good, but I think I would prefer a more traditional ice cream flavor next time.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.

I'm not a big fan of sweet corn, but I really enjoyed this ice cream. The basil really mellows out the corn flavor.

This is a great recipe for a light and refreshing ice cream. The basil adds a nice touch of flavor.

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover sweet corn. It's also a nice change from traditional ice cream flavors.

I was skeptical about this recipe, but I'm glad I tried it. The sweet corn and basil flavors are surprisingly complementary, and the ice cream is very refreshing.

This ice cream was a delightful surprise! The sweet corn and basil flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was smooth and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again!
