Ingredients

  •  ears corn 
  •  egg yolks 
  • cup heavy whipping cream 
  • 1.5 cups milk 
  • 0.5 cup sugar 
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • ladle
  • whisk
  • plastic wrap
  • ice cream machine
  • box grater

Directions

  1. Set a box grater in a large bowl. Using the large holes, grate corn kernels (and their "milk") off the cobs. Discard cobs.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, milk, and corn. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick. When cream mixture reaches a simmer, slowly ladle 1/2 cup of it into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Repeat with another 1/2-cup ladleful. Reduce heat to low, whisk warmed egg mixture into saucepan, and cook, whisking, until mixture thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour mixture into a medium bowl, stir in vanilla, cover with plastic wrap (letting the wrap sit directly on the mixture's surface), and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  4. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight plastic container and freeze up to overnight.
