"Milk puddings were a staple on my family's table—made with whatever was is season (carrots, squash, corn). I can vividly recall a family visit to India, watching my aunt boil sweet summer corn in rich milk. At the end, she stirred in a dash of saffron (a little goes a long way) that added subtle notes of honey. I founded Malai at the start of summer as fresh corn was popping up at the Brooklyn farmer's market, and I knew that I needed to honor the saffron corn pudding with a special flavor: Sweet Corn Saffron.
To capture the essence of summer’s sweet bounty in this recipe, I married the sweet honeyed flavors of corn and saffron with bright, fruity strawberries and floral rose water for a float that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Bright, light and effervescent, just try not to smile while sipping this treat through a pretty straw." —Pooja Bavishi, Founder and CEO of Malai, an artisanal ice cream company with flavors inspired by nostalgic, aromatic spices, and South Asian ingredients. —Food52
