At Good Life Ice Cream & Treats on Fruitville Pike, one of Lancaster County’s favorite seasonal flavors is immortalized again this summer in the family owned shop’s Lancaster Sweet Corn ice cream. “We started the sweet corn ice cream last year, last July,” said Mike Good, who owns the shop with his wife, Donna. The season for sweet corn ice cream is, like so many other tasty things in life, a limited one. The Goods get their white sweet corn from their favorite roadside stand: Clark Stauffer of Indian Run Produce on Stevens Road in Ephrata. “We use our base, a proprietary ice cream mix we use,” Good said. “We blanch the sweet corn, and then we cut if off the cob, and it goes into our ice cream machine to mix in. You do taste pieces of corn when you bite into it. ”. They got the idea, Good said, when they saw an Instagram picture from an ice cream... If you buy sweet corn ice cream at Good Life, you have the option of dusting it with Old Bay seasoning. While the Goods have run the ice cream shop on Fruitville Pike for 10 years, it’s only the second year it’s been operating as Good Life. For the Goods, using local sweet corn in an ice cream flavor is a tribute to that concept. Source: lancasteronline.com
