1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh green corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn can be found at local produce markets or farmers' stalls. Whole milk, sugar, and cinnamon are available in any local grocery store or supermarket.
Preparation method
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels from all the ears of corn.
- Transfer the corn kernels to a blender jar, then add the milk and sugar.
- Blend very well until you reach a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing down well with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Pour the strained content into a pot and place it over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
- Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately or refrigerate to cool.
