Creamy Homemade Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn is typically found in local produce markets or the vegetable section of grocery stores. Ensure the ears are firm and bright for the best texture. If you cannot find fresh corn, high-quality frozen whole-kernel corn can be used as a substitute, although the texture of the original recipe relies on the starch from fresh cobs.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels from all the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend the mixture thoroughly until it achieves a completely smooth consistency.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any excess fiber, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate to cool.

Observations

The Brazilian Curau de milho verde is a quintessential sweet treat, synonymous with the country's June festivities yet enjoyed year-round. Its signature velvety texture and the authentic taste of fresh corn make it a practical and delicious choice to serve after meals or as a snack. It is equally delightful served warm or thoroughly chilled, making it a versatile classic in any home.
