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

You can find fresh ears of corn and dairy products at local open-air markets or larger grocery stores. For the best result, select corn with moist, green husks and plump, pale yellow kernels.

Preparation method

  1. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer 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 down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible and remove the fibrous husks.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a heavy-bottomed pot and set over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent it from sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.

Observations

Curau de milho verde is a traditional Brazilian dessert, deeply rooted in the culture and a staple at Festas Juninas celebrations, though enjoyed year-round. Its velvety texture and the natural sweetness of fresh corn make this dish a practical and flavorful treat to serve after meals or as an afternoon snack. It is equally delightful served warm or well-chilled from the fridge.
