500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting
4 ears of sweet corn
1 pinch of salt
500 ml plant-based milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting
4 ears of sweet corn

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh sweet corn, sugar, and milk in the produce and dairy aisles of any local Irish supermarket or greengrocer. For an authentic result, choose corn that is firm and bright in color.
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 your desired consistency
- Pour the pudding into a large serving dish or individual bowls
- Allow it to cool at room temperature, then place in the fridge to set
- Finish by dusting with ground cinnamon before serving
Observations
Sweet corn pudding is an essential classic in Brazilian cuisine, highly cherished for its natural flavor and dense, creamy texture. This version uses fresh corn, which imparts an unmistakable aroma and freshness to the dessert.
To achieve a perfect consistency, the secret lies in the starch extraction process and patient cooking. It is essential to strain the mixture thoroughly to remove the fibers and keep stirring constantly in the pan, ensuring a smooth, lump-free, and glossy custard.
