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 grocery stores with a produce section that stocks seasonal corn. For the coconut, check the international or tropical aisle, or specialty stores that carry grated coconut or frozen options. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods or baking section, especially in stores that cater to Latin or Asian cuisines. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels are a good substitute. For online shopping, search for tropical or Latin food suppliers that deliver these ingredients. When shopping in supermarkets, ask staff for fresh corn and husks, or visit local markets where farmers sell directly. Grated coconut can sometimes be found in the frozen foods aisle, or in health food stores that stock tropical ingredients.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob 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 until combined
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming sealed 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
