Ingredients
100 g demerara sugar
500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting
4 fresh corn cobs
1 pinch of salt
500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting
4 fresh corn cobs
1 pinch of salt
Where to find ingredients
Find fresh corn, plant-based milk, and sugar at local grocery stores or produce markets. If fresh corn is unavailable, kernels can be used as a substitute, although the texture may differ.
Preparation method
- Cut the corn kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife
- Place the kernels in a blender, add the plant-based milk, and blend until you reach a homogeneous mixture
- Pass the mixture through a fine or medium-mesh sieve, pressing well to extract all the juice and discard the fibers
- Transfer the strained liquid to a saucepan, adding the sugar and the pinch of salt
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent lumps from forming at the bottom of the pan
- Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency
- Pour the pudding into a large serving dish or individual bowls
- Let it cool at room temperature and then place it in the refrigerator to firm up
- Finish by dusting with ground cinnamon before serving
Observations
Corn pudding, or curau de milho, is an essential classic in Brazilian cuisine, highly prized for its natural flavor and dense, creamy texture. This version uses fresh corn, which imparts an unmistakable aroma and freshness to the sweet dish.
To achieve the perfect consistency, the secret lies in the starch extraction process and patient cooking. It is essential to strain the mixture thoroughly to remove fibers and to keep the mixture constantly moving in the pan, ensuring a smooth, lump-free, and glossy custard.
