Sweet Corn Ice Cream may seem like a unique flavor, but if separately they are two of the best summer foods, why not try them together?! This no-churn ice cream recipe is so easy, so delicious, and so worth it!
Nothing is better for summer than no-bake treats to beat the heat, especially nice, cold ice creams to keep you cool! If you love no-churn ice creams, be sure to check out Nutella Ice Cream and Avocado Ice Cream too.
Why this recipe works
Corn is one of the sweeter vegetables, and we already know it works well in sweet things, like cornbread (team sugar!), and creamy things, like creamed corn, so this is just combining the two into everyone's favorite frozen treat! The sweetened corn flavor is absolute summer perfection!
Ingredients and notes
Sweetened Condensed Milk - Sweetened condensed milk creates the sweetness in this recipe. Using sugar in a no-churn ice cream can create a grainy texture, so sweetened condensed milk is a smooth way to sweeten this Corn Ice Cream.
Corn - Fresh, sweet corn on the cob is ideal for this three ingredient ice cream, making corn season ideal for this sweet treat.
Heavy Cream - Heavy cream is whipped into whipped cream to make your ice cream light and airy. Be sure to use heavy cream or whipping cream. A lighter dairy like milk or half and half will not work.
Substitutions
Corn - Canned corn can be used in place of fresh corn, but it will not have the same flavor and texture. I highly recommend using fresh corn on the cob if you can find it!
How to make this recipe
Step 1: Whisk sweetened condensed milk and pureed corn together.
Step 2: Beat the heavy cream till stiff peaks form, creating whipped cream.
Step 3: Fold the corn mixture in to the whipped cream and mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Pour into loaf pan and freeze until ice cream texture, at least 4 hours.
Recipe FAQs
It tastes similar to a sweet creamed corn, but with vanilla ice cream instead of cream!
Not for this recipe. Cream style corn already has cream in it. For this no-churn Sweet Corn Ice Cream we want the cream and the corn separate so that we can beat the cream into whipped cream and puree the corn separately.
No-churn ice cream recipes allow us to make delicious homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. No-churn recipes are super easy to make and they are made without eggs.
Tips & Tricks
Tip #1: Using a metal loaf pan will help chill your ice cream because metal will get much colder than glass or Pyrex. I suggest chilling the metal pan before making the ice cream so it's already cold when the ice cream mixture is poured into it.
Tip #2: When whipping your heavy cream into whipped cream, you don't want to over-whip. To know if it's done, stick your whisk straight down into the mixture, and pull it straight up. If it holds the shape of a peak without flopping over to the side, it's ready!
Tip #3: Fold the corn mixture into the whipped cream gently! You don't want to deflate all the air out of the whipped cream that you just whipped into it.
Storage Tips
3-Ingredient Sweet Corn Ice Cream should be stored well-covered in the freezer.
