Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon for dusting, to taste
240ml whole milk
7 fresh sweet corn cobs
100g caster sugar

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh corn on the cob in most major supermarkets or at local greengrocers. If fresh cobs are unavailable, you may use sweetcorn kernels, though fresh is essential for the traditional flavour and texture of this dessert.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp kitchen knife, carefully slice the kernels off the cobs.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blitz thoroughly until you achieve a completely smooth consistency.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid and discard the fibrous husks.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Cook whilst stirring continuously with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy, custard-like consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or chill in the fridge.
