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

You can find fresh ears of corn in the produce section of local grocery stores or open-air markets. Ensure the corn is tender and juicy for the best results. Whole milk and sugar are pantry staples available at any supermarket.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the kernels off each cob of corn.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to strain the liquid and remove the tough fibers.
  5. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens into a creamy pudding consistency.
  7. Transfer the dessert into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until set.
