Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon, for dusting to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn can be found at local farmers' markets or the produce section of neighborhood supermarkets. Use high-quality whole milk and standard pantry staples for best results.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the kernels off each ear of corn.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend thoroughly until you reach a smooth, uniform consistency.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent scorching, until the mixture thickens into a rich, creamy custard.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until set.

Observations

Curau de milho verde is a hallmark of Brazilian culinary tradition, long associated with the festive June harvest celebrations, yet enjoyed year-round. Its velvety texture and the deep, natural sweetness of fresh corn make this dish a delightful choice for a post-dinner treat or an afternoon snack. It is equally pleasing served warm from the pot or chilled directly from the fridge.
