Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons plus light
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch 
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened
• 1  ears corn sweet husked
• 1.3 cups cup heavy whipping cream 
• 2 cups raspberries black
• 2 servings raspberry sauce black
• 0.3 teaspoon sea salt fine
• 1 cup sugar 
• 2 cups milk whole

Equipment

• bowl
• sauce pan
• knife
• whisk
• sieve
• spatula

Directions

1. Combine the berries and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 220°F (5 to 8 minutes).
2. Let cool slightly, then force through a sieve to remove the seeds. (Or leave a few seeds in there just to prove you made it.) Refrigerate until cold before using.
3. Sweet Corn Ice Cream: Slice the kernels from the corn cob, then “milk” the cob by scraping it with the back of your knife to extract the liquid; reserve the kernels and liquid.
4. Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry.
5. Whisk the cream cheese and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
6. Combine the remaining milk, the cream, sugar, corn and juices, and corn syrup in a 4-quart saucepan, bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, and boil for 4 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat and force the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, leaving the corn “cases” behind. Return the mixture to the saucepan and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Bring back to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
8. Remove from the heat.
9. Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese until smooth.
10. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon Ziploc freezer bag and submerge the sealed bag in the ice bath.
11. Let stand, adding more ice as necessary, until cold, about 30 minutes.
12. Pour the ice cream base into the frozen canister and spin until thick and creamy. Pack the ice cream into a storage container, alternating it with layers of the black raspberry sauce and ending with a spoonful of sauce; do not mix. Press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.
