After I Saw This, I Never Threw Away Leftover Corn Cobs Again! Genius!

Got any leftover corn cobs in your kitchen? How about corn that has gone stale? Don't throw those cobs away! You can use them to concoct a spectacular topping/whip with a simple soak in some heavy cream.

Courtesy of Lucky Peach, here's an awesome way to make use out of leftover corn that's tough and/or chewy. This recipe brings out the sweet, savory flavor of the corn, allowing them to infuse together for about an hour, and with delicious results.

Here are the easy-to-follow instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the cream. Add the corn cob, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Let the milk infuse on your countertop for 1 hour.
  2. Strain the mixture through a chinois or fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place an empty mixing bowl in the freezer until it is very cold.
  3. Transfer the cold corn cream to the cold mixing bowl, add powdered sugar and salt. Whisk until fluffy.

Is this something you’d make at home? I definitely would! Please SHARE this awesome recipe with your friends on Facebook!
