Creamy Fresh Corn Pudding (CURAU DE MILHO VERDE)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon for sprinkling to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh green corn
1/2 cup refined sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn can be found at local markets or greengrocers. For all other items, any local grocery store or supermarket will have the necessary ingredients.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels to a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend very well until you have a smooth mixture.
  4. Pass the resulting mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing down well with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling cinnamon powder on top, and serve immediately or refrigerate to chill.
