I. Prepare the ingredients
1. **Main ingredient**:
- Corn kernels: 500g (you can use fresh or canned corn)
- Milk: 250 ml
- Glutinous rice flour: 100g
- Sugar: 100g
2. **Accessories**:
- Water: moderate amount
- Corn starch: 20g
- Salt: a little
- Honey or syrup: appropriate amount (optional, for drizzling on the sorbet to increase the flavor)
II. Preparation Steps
#### 1. Process the corn
If using fresh corn, shuck the kernels and rinse well. If using canned corn, just drain it.
#### 2. Make corn syrup
Put the processed corn kernels into a food processor, add milk and puree to a fine corn syrup. Strain the corn pulp once to remove the coarse fiber and get a finer corn liquid.
#### 3. Make corn paste
Add water to a pot, pour in corn syrup, add glutinous rice flour and sugar, and stir well. Turn on medium heat and heat up, stirring constantly to prevent mushy bottom. Once cooked to a paste, add cornstarch and continue stirring until the corn paste becomes thick and grain-free.
#### 4. Form and cool
Pour the cooked corn paste into the mold, smooth the surface, let it cool and put it into the refrigerator for more than 2 hours until the corn cooler is completely solidified.
#### 5. Cut into pieces for serving
Take out the solidified corn gazpacho from the refrigerator, invert the mold, cut into small pieces and serve. Drizzle with honey or syrup as desired to add sweetness and flavor.
III. Notes
1. **Corn selection**: Both fresh and canned corn can be used, but fresh corn will have better taste and flavor.
2. **Stirring process**: When heating and cooking the corn paste, constant stirring is needed to prevent bottoming and lumping and to keep the paste uniform.
3. **Mold Selection**: The mold can be of any shape, square, round or cartoon shape, according to personal preference.
4. **Refrigerate time**: Refrigerate for enough time to ensure the corn cooler is completely solidified so that it tastes better.
