Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste, for dusting
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh sweet corn can be found at local markets or greengrocers. Ensure you select ears that are vibrant and firm. Standard whole milk and refined sugar are readily available in any local supermarket grocery aisle.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the corn kernels off the cobs.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, then add the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down with a spoon to strain out the fibers and extract all the liquid.
  5. Transfer the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
  7. Pour the pudding into a serving dish, dust with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled.

Observations

Curau de milho verde is a hallmark of Brazilian culinary heritage, particularly celebrated during the festive June harvest parties, though it remains a beloved treat year-round. Its velvety texture and the authentic sweetness of fresh corn make it an effortless yet elegant dessert. Whether enjoyed warm straight from the stove or chilled from the fridge, it offers a distinctively comforting experience.
