Corn Ice Cream Shortcakes With Blueberry Compote Recipes

CORN ICE CREAM SHORTCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the ice cream: Carefully cut kernels from cobs; transfer to a saucepan. Break cobs in half; add to saucepan. Stir in milk, cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Let cool; discard cobs.
• Working in batches, puree corn mixture in a blender until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Return mixture to saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk togetheregg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl. Whisk 1 cup corn mixture into yolks, then return entire mixture to saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until custard thickens and can easily coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Strain custard through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing down solids; discard solids. Transfer bowl to ice-water bath, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the shortcakes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift flours, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and1 1/4 teaspoons salt twice into a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until small clumps form. Makea well in the center, and pour in buttermilk. Stir until combined.
• Turn out dough onto a generously floured surface, and fold over onto itself 3 or 4 times. Roll out dough to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out rounds of dough using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather scraps, and repeat once. Brush shortcakes with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Make the blueberry compote: Bring 1 cup blueberries, the granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until berries burst and liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup blueberries. Let cool.
• Split shortcakes in half, and top each shortcake bottom with a spoonful of blueberry compote, top with a scoop of ice cream, then sandwich with shortcake tops.

HOTCAKES WITH DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the blueberry compote: Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes. (Don't let the berries cook too long or they will become mushy and lose their beautiful shape.) Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the chopped mint if using. Keep warm.
• For the hotcakes: Whisk the ricotta and the egg yolks together in a large bowl to combine, then whisk in the buttermilk. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into the ricotta mixture. Stir with a whisk until just combined.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites through the batter in 2 batches. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter.
• Melt some butter on a hot griddle pan over medium-low heat. Ladle the batter onto the griddle (you should be able to fit 3 hotcakes at a time) and cook until the hotcakes puff, become golden brown and are just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the hotcakes to plates. Spoon the warm blueberry compote over the hotcakes, and then top with a dollop of butter. Serve immediately.

BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• Make the ice cream: Set a large bowl in an ice-water bath; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring corn, corn cobs (if using), 3 1/2 cups milk, heavy cream, corn syrup, vanilla bean seeds and pod, and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, to prevent sugar from sticking to the bottom of saucepan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup milk until well combined. Remove corn mixture from heat; slowly add about a third of the hot corn mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined. Pour egg mixture back into saucepan with corn cobs, whisking constantly. Return saucepan to medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, cook until custard mixture coats back of a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes; stir in vanilla extract and salt.
• Pour custard mixture into bowl set in ice-water bath; let cool completely. Transfer custard mixture to refrigerator and let chill overnight.
• Remove corn cobs from custard mixture, squeeze out any excess liquid; discard cobs. Transfer custard mixture to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, discarding solids.
• Transfer custard mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Keep ice cream frozen in an airtight container up to 5 days.
• Make the compote: Place 1 1/2 cups blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, pressing on berries until they burst and mixture begins to look syrupy. Add corn kernels, stir to combine and immediately remove from heat.
• Stir in remaining cup of blueberries. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until cool, up to 24 hours.
• Make the popcorn: Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat; set aside. Butter a large heatproof bowl and add popcorn to bowl; set aside.
• Heat sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over low until butter and sugar melt. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, until sugar mixture becomes golden brown. Remove from heat and carefully add vanilla and salt (mixture may splatter slightly). Pour sugar mixture over popcorn; stir until popcorn is completely coated.
• Turn popcorn out onto prepared baking sheet, working quickly to separate kernels; let cool completely. Transfer popcorn to an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• Make the whipped cream: Place all whipped cream ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk until soft peaks form.
• Place two spoonfuls of blueberry compote in each of 6 large parfait glasses; top with two scoops corn ice cream. Add a large handful of toffee popcorn to each glass and top with another scoop of ice cream. Top each with another spoonful of compote and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with remaining toffee popcorn and serve immediately with cornbread muffins.

CORN FLOUR SHORTCAKES WITH BLACKBERRIES AND WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper but leave the sides unlined and ungreased.
• Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sugar for later (to stiffen the egg whites).
• Add the remaining sugar to a large mixing bowl with egg yolks, oil, corn flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Whisk to blend thoroughly. Set aside for 15 minutes to hydrate the corn flour while the oven is heating.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is creamy white and holds a soft shape. Slowly sprinkle in the reserved 2 tablespoons sugar, beating at high speed until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Scrape half of the egg whites onto the corn batter and fold until partially blended. Add the remaining egg whites and fold just until the batter looks blended. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
• Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Set the pan on a cooling rack. Immediately, while the cake is still hot, slide a thin knife or spatula around the sides, pressing against the pan to avoid tearing the cake. Leave the cake in the pan to cool-it will settle at a bit and pull away from the edges of the pan.
• When cool, carefully invert the cake onto a cutting board. Cut the cake into 8 even rectangles, about 2x4-inches each.
• In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cup of the blackberries with the and lemon juice. Let stand 30 minutes, then stir and mash with the back of a spoon to break up the berries. When ready to serve, stir in remaining 1/2 cup fresh blackberries.
• Meanwhile, pour heavy cream into the chilled bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high until soft peaks form. Turn speed to low and gently whisk in sour cream, salt, and sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice each rectangle in half horizontally. Top the bottom half with a spoonful (about 3 tablespoons) of blackberries and their sauce, and then garnish with a generous dollop of whipped cream and place the top half of the cake on top. Repeat to form remaining servings.

CREPES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a blender, add all the crepe ingredients. Blend till smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• While the batter rests, start the compote. In a saucepan, add the blueberries on medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and water. Stir and cook until hot and bubbly. Then, reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally until set.
• To make the crepes, lightly brush a nonstick pan with butter and on medium heat, add ¼ of the batter. Quickly lift the pan and swirl to the edges, making a circle.
• Cook for about 40 seconds, until the middle begins to bubble and edges begin to brown. Once set slightly, flip over and cook the other side for 40-45 seconds.
• To fill, spread some cream on one end, top with a few spoons of the berry compote, and, if desired, top with additional whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
• Serve.
