Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 ears of fresh corn with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut

Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn at local farmers' markets or grocery stores with a good produce section. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods aisle or in the international foods section, especially in stores catering to Latin or Caribbean communities. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen or canned corn can be used, but fresh is preferred for the best flavor. Grated coconut is available in the frozen section or in the international aisle, or you can grate fresh coconut if available. Sugar and salt are standard pantry items, easily found in any supermarket.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the cobs by cutting 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 to combine
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming sealed packages
- Fold the husks and tie them securely to prevent leaks during boiling
- 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
Observations
The sweet pamonha is a classic Brazilian treat made with fresh corn, offering a tender texture and irresistible flavor. In this recipe, we use the entire cob, wrapping the mixture in corn husks for shaping and boiling, resulting in a homemade delicacy that’s aromatic and full of flavor. It’s ideal for those seeking a simple, budget-friendly dessert that’s rich in taste.
