Preparation Professions:

1. Sear the corn kernels in a large iron skillet over high heat, rotating every 2 minutes (approximately 10-15), until charred to golden perfection.
2. Move the charred kernels back into the skillet, sprinkle ½ cup of sugar over them, and stir carefully until golden brown (approximately 10-12 minutes). Set aside to cool.
3. With ½ cup of sugar, milk, cream, and grilled kernels, infuse a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, giving the mixture a gentle stir now and then. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or till the chill is fully locked.
4. Using a slotted spoon, remove the corn kernels from the mixture, squeezing out excess liquid before setting aside.
5. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of cream, ½ cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually pour the syrup into the egg whites while beating continuously, thus tempering them, and keeping them from scrambling. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale.
7. Gently fold the corn mixture into the egg whites, then return it to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, while constantly stirring, until mixture thickens, coats the spoon's back, and leaves a trail (approximately 3 minutes). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl and chill as needed (4 hours, or overnight).
8. Based on the ice cream maker's guidelines, churn the mixture.
9. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 4 hours or up to the next day until firm.
10. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted caramel corn on top of the ice cream, and garnish with lemon zest, if desired.

Flavor Flairs:

• To elevate the sweet corn ice cream, consider infusing the heavy cream with a vanilla bean or an injection of maple syrup while mixing.
