Growing up, sweet corn ice cream was a childhood favorite. It's surprising that this delicious flavor isn't a big hit in the US.
In the Philippines, we even have mais con keso (corn and cheese) ice cream—yes, it's a thing, I promise! Sweet corn is a beloved flavor there, often savored as a sweet treat. During summer, we always make shaved ice, with flavors like banana (banana con yelo) or corn (mais con yelo). This creamy, unique flavor brings back nostalgic memories with every bite.
I'm excited that I can recreate this treat using my new kitchen favorite - Ninja Creami.
