Creamy sweet corn pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

100 g demerara sugar
500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting
4 ears of fresh green corn
1 pinch of salt

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn can be found at local produce markets or supermarkets; demerara sugar and plant-based milks are available in the baking and dairy-alternative aisles of any standard grocery store.

Preparation method

  1. Cut the corn kernels off the ears using a sharp knife
  2. Place the kernels in a blender, add the plant-based milk, and blend until you reach a homogeneous mixture
  3. Pass the mixture through a fine or medium mesh strainer, pressing well to extract all the juice and discard the fibers
  4. Transfer the strained liquid to a pot, adding the sugar and the pinch of salt
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent lumps from forming at the bottom of the pot
  6. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency
  7. Pour the pudding into a large serving dish or individual bowls
  8. Let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate to firm up
  9. Finish by dusting with ground cinnamon before serving

Observations

Corn pudding is an essential classic of Brazilian cuisine, highly prized for its natural flavor and its dense, creamy texture. This version uses fresh corn, which imparts an unmistakable aroma and freshness to the dessert.

To achieve the perfect consistency, the secret lies in the starch extraction process and patient cooking. It is essential to strain the mixture well to remove the fibers and keep the mixture moving constantly in the pot, ensuring a smooth, lump-free, and glossy custard.
