Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs at local farmers' markets or produce sections of supermarkets, especially during peak corn season. In Latin American or Caribbean grocery stores, you might find fresh or frozen corn cobs and grated coconut. For the husks, check the dried corn husks in the dried goods aisle or specialty Latin markets. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels can be a good substitute, but fresh is preferred for authentic flavor. Grated coconut can be bought pre-packaged or grated fresh from tropical markets. For online shopping, search for Latin or Caribbean food suppliers that deliver fresh produce and dried corn husks. In some regions, local markets may carry dried corn husks in the dried herbs and grains section, or in the aisle dedicated to traditional 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 neat 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
