    Candy Corn Ice Cream

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    My recent success with home-made ice cream got my creative juices flowing. I thought I had re-invented the wheel when I came up with the idea of making ice cream from melted candy corn. My bubble was burst when I googled it and found out that I was not the first one with the idea. There aren't many recipes out there but I found a couple. I followed one recipe fairly closely but changed a couple of things. This is a no-egg ice cream, with only three ingredients; candy corn, heavy cream and milk.

    Just a head's up:

    This ice cream base needs to chill overnight and then the ice cream needs to firm up in the freezer for several hours. Plan accordingly!

    I didn't think I would like candy corn ice cream but it was surprisingly good. I kept eating it by the spoonful as it was freezing!

    Equipment

    • Ice cream machine
    • Saucepan
    • Freezer safe container with lid

    Ingredients
      

    • 14 ounces Candy Corn
    • 3 cups heavy cream
    • 1 ยผ cups milk

    Instructions
     

    • Add two cups cream and the candy corn to a large heavy bottomed pot.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the candy corn begins to dissolve.
    • Turn the heat down and cook on low until the candy corn is dissolved. Stir often to prevent burning.
    • Pour it through a strainer if there are still small undissolved pieces of candy corn.
    • Pour directly from the cooking pot, through a mesh strainer, into a large plastic heat proof storage container.
    • Add the additional cup of heavy cream and the milk. Give it a stir, put the lid on and chill the ice cream base overnight in the fridge.
    • The next morning, or when completely chilled, pour into your ice cream maker. Churn and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
    • You can add candy corn pieces to the ice cream when it comes out of the machine. I chose to go the smooth route. And, it was really smooth ice cream.
    • NOTE: This ice cream never got really firm in the ice cream machine. I spooned it into a glass loaf pan, covered with plastic wrap, then foil, and put it int the freezer for several more hours. It took longer than the other ice creams I have made to become hard, but it finally did after a few hours.

      Am I missing something? The instructions say cook 2 cups cream and candy. When does the rest of the cream and all the milk get used?

        No George it was me! I updated my recipe plug-in and apparently there were a few glitches. Sorry. Thanks for pointing it out. Hope you like the ice cream!
