This is a summer seasonal flavor at Malai, and it’s one of the most anticipated. Pairing sweet summer corn with the honey-like notes of saffron yields an ice cream that is out of this world—in this case, one that’s dairy-free. The coconut plays off the corn and saffron beautifully, and it makes the whole thing taste like a vacation. For some peak-summer decadence, top it with Blueberry Cardamom Sauce.
