Ingredients

  • 15 g Capn Crunch (1/4 cup)
  • 25 g light brown sugar (1 1/2 tablespoons tightly packed)
  • 12 g granulated sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • 12 g freeze-dried corn powder (see page 18) (2 tablespoons)
  • 2 g cornstarch (1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1 g kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • 1/3 recipe Sweet Corn Cereal Milk (page 36) [175 g (3/4 cup)]
  • 1 egg
  • 210 g heavy cream (1 cup)
  • 70 g sour cream (1/4 cup)

Method

  • Grind the Capn Crunch to a powder in a food processor.
  • Transfer the cereal powder to a large saucepan and add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Whisk in the cereal milk and egg in a slow, steady stream, whisking until the mixture is clump-free.
  • Put the saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk casually but consistently, watching for the mixture to bubble and thicken, until it has the texture of a pudding or pastry cream3 to 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and transfer it to the fridge to cool for 1 hour (you dont want the mixture to firm up completely).
  • Combine the heavy cream and sour cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip to soft peaks that hold a shape, but just barely.
  • Do not overwhip.
  • Grab the bowl of slightly cooled corn pudding mixture and whisk it into the whipped cream, mixing it for 30 to 45 seconds, until it is a homogenous, slightly runny, totally corny whipped cream delight ready to be poured into a pie shell or Popsicle molds.
