Ingredients
Ground cinnamon for dusting, to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears of fresh green corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
7 ears of fresh green corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh ears of corn in the produce section of local markets or neighborhood grocery stores. Use whole milk and standard granulated sugar from the baking aisle. If fresh corn is unavailable, you may substitute it with frozen corn kernels, though the fresh variety provides the most authentic flavor and texture for this traditional recipe.
Preparation method
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the kernels off each ear of corn.
- Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
- Pulse or blend thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the flavorful liquid while discarding the fibrous hulls.
- Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place it over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens into a velvety custard.
- Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the surface with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until set.
Observations
Curau de milho verde is a quintessential Brazilian dessert, a staple at seasonal festivities and a beloved treat all year round.

It is equally delightful served warm or chilled straight from the refrigerator.
