125 grams all-purpose flour
07 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 -
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 -
113 grams unsalted butter, softened

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a blender, combine sweet corn kernels, coconut milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 -
Transfer the cooled corn mixture to an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until thickened. Scrape the churned ice cream into a container and freeze until firm, approximately 2 to 3 hours.
03 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, cream softened unsalted butter with packed brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
05 -
Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
06 -
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing approximately 5 centimetres apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
07 -
Once cookies are thoroughly cooled, place a scoop of sweet corn ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.
08 -
Arrange the assembled sandwiches in a single layer and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Enhance with shredded coconut or chopped nuts folded into the ice cream base for added texture.
02 -
Pair with tropical fruit salad to create a refreshing dessert course.
