Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 ears of fresh corn with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 ears of fresh corn with husks
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn at local farmers' markets or Latin American grocery stores, where ears with husks are common during the harvest season. Grated coconut can be found in the frozen section or dried in Latin markets. For the husks, ask at the produce or bulk section, or use banana leaves as a substitute if unavailable. Online stores specializing in Latin ingredients often stock these items. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels can be used, but fresh is preferred for authentic flavor.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the silk or carefully scraping
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and salt to the mixture and stir well to combine
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming neat packages
- Fold the husks and tie them securely to prevent leaks during cooking
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil
- Submerge the pamonha packages one by one into the boiling water, maintaining a steady boil
- Cook for about 40 minutes until firm and cooked through
- Remove the pamonhas with a slotted spoon and let cool in a cool place
- Serve the sweet pamonha with coffee or grated cheese, as desired
