1 pinch of salt
500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting

Where to find ingredients
Find fresh corn cobs at local wet markets or greengrocers. Plant-based milk and demerara sugar are available at supermarkets or health food stores. Cinnamon can be found in spice sections or local markets.
Preparation method
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife
- Place the kernels in a blender, add the plant-based milk, and blend until you reach a homogeneous mixture
- Pass the mixture through a fine or medium-mesh sieve, pressing well to extract all the juice and discard the fibers
- Transfer the strained liquid to a saucepan, adding the sugar and the pinch of salt
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent lumps from forming at the bottom of the pan
- Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency
- Pour the pudding into a large serving dish or individual bowls
- Let it cool at room temperature and then refrigerate until set
- Finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top before serving
Observations
Sweet corn pudding is an essential classic in Brazilian cuisine, highly prized for its natural flavor and its thick, 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 maintain constant movement in the pot, ensuring a smooth, lump-free, and glossy cream.
