About

When the summer starts to turn up the heat, you pull out the popsicles. But when you want to get the party started, you pull out the Cornsicles! These grilled confections take golden ears of corn and grill them to add a crunch to their summer sweetness. Then each piece is slathered in a savory, creamy, garlic-infused sauce and sprinkled with sharp feta and aromatic cilantro, adding a new dimension to the bright corn flavor that will leave everyone speechless. Cornsicles need just over half an hour to come together and only one second to amaze every tastebud at the cookout.
