Sweet Corn Ice Cream Makes Its Debut
The first batches of sweet corn ice cream he produced did not please everyone but enough people like it that Dan Lang says he's going to keep on making it. The Lowell, Ohio, entrepreneur likes challenges, and some of his other specialty ice cream concoctions that seemed strange at first later attracted a following of fans.
Uncle Dan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream is made with all fresh ingredients in a very unique way.
"I make it with a 3 hp Deere hit and miss engine that drives two 5-gal. ice cream makers," Lang says.
Three years ago, he started making ice cream at events such as gas engine and tractor shows, fairs, Oktoberfest and town celebrations.
When someone suggested he should make corn ice cream for the Sweet Corn Festival in Marietta, Ohio, he started experimenting with half batches. He came up with one recipe that uses whole kernels and another that uses grated corn. He added a butter flavor that becomes apparent if you eat a small dish of the ice cream.
Lang has had good luck with some of his other concoctions; his black walnut ice cream for a black walnut festival is one of his best successes. Besides his standard vanilla, chocolate and butter pecan ice creams he follows the seasons and festivals with special varieties: strawberry, black raspberry, peach, peanut butter and pumpkin, for example.
