10 soft ears of fresh green corn
1/2 liter of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn can be found at local markets or greengrocers. As a substitute for fresh ears, high-quality canned corn may be used, though fresh corn is essential for the authentic texture.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn ears using a grater or cut the kernels with a knife and blend with the milk in a blender.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fiber, ensuring a smooth cream.
- Add the sugar and butter to the strained corn cream.
- Place over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook until the mixture reaches the consistency of a thick, glossy porridge.
- Transfer the warm pudding into plates lightly moistened with water and let it cool before serving.
