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 markets or supermarkets, especially in the produce section during peak season. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods or international aisle, or at Latin American or Asian grocery stores. If fresh husks are unavailable, dried corn husks are a good alternative. Grated coconut is available in the frozen section or dried in most supermarkets. For a more authentic flavor, try to buy fresh corn during summer months or from local farmers' markets. If fresh corn is hard to find, frozen corn kernels are a suitable substitute, just adjust the blending process accordingly.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the silk or gently scraping
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and a pinch of 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 over and tie securely with kitchen twine or strips of husk to prevent leaks
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil
- Submerge the pamonha parcels 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 tea or grated cheese, as preferred
