I’ll get this one out of the way quickly: this is a recipe for sweet corn ice cream.

“The thing you need to remember,” writes Tim of Lottie + Doof, “is that sweet corn ice cream tastes like sweet corn. Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is going to taste like anything other than corn. I know that sounds obvious, but as prepared as you might be, the first bite is shocking.”

“Delicious,” he writes, “but shocking.”

Yup – this recipe, I think, is not for everyone. However, if you – like me – have tried to put corn in pretty much every single dish this summer (how did I not realize before that raw corn is absolutely delicious?), I can’t imagine that you won’t like it. Me, I’m imagining this with berries on top, served on zucchini bread like some kind of twisted strawberry shortcake.
