Sweet Corn Ice Cream
- 1 14 .75-ounce can cream-style corn
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 large egg yolks
- Caramel corn or bourbon, for topping (optional)
- Make the custard: Whisk the corn, half-and-half, sour cream, sugar and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Lightly beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl.
- Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of the warm corn mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then pour into the saucepan and return to medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the hot custard to a blender and pulse until smooth (keep the filler cap slightly open to let steam escape).
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard the solids.
- Stir often until the mixture cools to room temperature.
- Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill until cold, about 3 hours.
- (For faster chilling, set the bowl of custard in a bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
- Freeze the cold custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls.
- Top with caramel corn or a splash of bourbon, if desired.
