Though the weather’s getting cooler, sweet summer corn is still available at the markets, but not for long. Make the most of the remaining days of corn season with these recipes:
One of our favorite recipes from Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc at Home, this dish could not be easier to make.
Studded with kernels of fresh summer corn, this sweet, rich custard is paired with thinly shaved country ham, sautéed greens, and a drizzle of warm apple cider gastrique.

Pastry chef Karen DeMasco pairs creamy corn pudding with tart blueberry compote and crunchy shortbread cookies in this impressive dessert.
