Sweet Corn Gelato

October is always a month that represents the last fleeting moments of summer's bounty, and there is no better representation of that than the final harvest of sweet corn.

Sweet Corn Gelato is the perfect fall treat. It has a soft delicate texture and is sweet, but not rich. The salt added toward the end of churning offsets the richness, leaving the perfect balance of sweet corn & cream which will have you licking your spoon for more.

Im really surprised... what does it taste like???? i really cant imagine an ice cream made out of corn...

This sounds so good, but I don't have a gelato maker. Will this mix work in an old fashioned ice cream maker?

Yes, you can. Just be sure to to stick it in the freezer for an hour before you serve and don't forget to add the salt.

It's really really good! The corn really comes through and it has a slight salted caramel flavor.
