Best Corn Ice Pops Recipes

CORN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, heat the milk, sugar and syrup until bubbles form around sides of pan. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly., Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160°. Quickly transfer to a bowl; place in ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in corn and vanilla. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight., Strain custard, discarding corn. Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. When ice cream is frozen, transfer to a freezer container; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.

NO-CHURN SWEET CORN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the corn kernels and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Break the corn cobs into pieces and add them to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Gently simmer the mixture 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Discard the corn cobs and pour the rest of the cream mixture into a blender. Blend on high until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Strain into a bowl and refrigerate until cold, 1 to 2 hours.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the cream mixture on high speed until it forms soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. (Note that this will not whip to quite the volume of regular whipped cream because of the corn, but it will get to soft peaks.)
• Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Fold about half of the whipped cream mixture into the sweetened condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• To serve, scoop into glasses or bowls and garnish with caramel coated popcorn, if desired.

CEREAL ICE POPS

Steps:

• Put twelve 3-ounce paper cups on a tray that will fit inside the freezer. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the peanut butter cereal into each of 4 paper cups. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon cereal into each of another 4 paper cups and 1 tablespoon of the corn cereal into each of the 4 remaining cups. Set aside.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups milk into each of 3 separate mixing bowls. Add 2 cups of the peanut butter cereal to one bowl, 2 cups of the cinnamon cereal to the second bowl and 2 cups of the corn cereal to the third bowl; stir to combine. Let the cereal soak in the milk, refrigerated, for a minimum of 30 minutes. Meanwhile, crush the remaining cereal in separate ziptop bags. Put the crushed cereal into 3 small bowls.
• Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the cereal milk into 3 separate containers with pour spouts. Push as much of the milk as possible out of the cereal. Discard the soaked cereal. Add 1/3 cup of the yogurt to each container of flavored milk and whisk to combine.
• Divide the peanut butter cereal milk among the paper cups with the peanut butter cereal in the bottom, until the cereal rises to the top (about 1/3 cup milk mixture per paper cup). Divide the cinnamon cereal milk among the paper cups with the cinnamon cereal in the bottom, and the corn cereal milk among the paper cups with the corn cereal. Put the tray of cups in the freezer to chill for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, put an ice-pop stick into each cup. Put the tray back in the freezer for another 2 hours, until the ice pops are completely hardened.
• Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes.
• Once the ice pops are frozen, work quickly to peel off the paper cup from each. One by one, dip the end of each ice pop into the melted chocolate and immediately roll in the corresponding crushed cereal (about 1 tablespoon of crushed cereal per pop). Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
