Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt

1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar

Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs at local markets, especially in the produce section or farmers' markets. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods or international aisle, or in Latin American or Caribbean grocery stores. If unavailable, you can substitute with banana leaves or parchment paper, though the flavor and presentation will differ. Grated coconut is typically sold in the frozen or dried section, or fresh in tropical markets. Sugar and salt are standard pantry items, available at any supermarket. For a more authentic flavor, seek out fresh corn from local vendors or farmers' markets, especially during peak season.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or gently 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 neat packages
- Fold the husks over and tie 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
