Ingredients
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup finely grated coconut
12 ears fresh corn with husks
1 pinch salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup finely grated coconut
12 ears fresh corn with husks
Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn on the cob with husks can typically be found at your local grocery store or farmer's market, usually during the corn season. Ensure the husks are clean and intact for wrapping. Finely grated coconut is available in the baking aisle of most supermarkets or in specialty international food stores.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the ears of corn by cutting close to the cob, or by grating them
- Blend the corn kernels with water in a blender until you achieve a smooth mixture
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients
- Take small portions of the dough and wrap them in the corn husks, forming sealed packages
- Fold the husks and tie them tightly to prevent any leakage during cooking
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil
- Carefully place the pamonhas, one by one, into the boiling water, maintaining a consistent boil
- Cook for about 40 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the pamonhas from the water and let them cool in a cool place
- Serve the sweet pamonha with coffee or grated cheese, if desired
Observations
Sweet pamonha is a traditional Brazilian treat made from fresh corn, which gives it a soft texture and irresistible flavor. In this recipe, we use the whole ear of corn, with the husks serving as the wrapper and cooking vessel, resulting in a homemade delicacy that's tasty and wonderfully aromatic. It's ideal for those looking for a simple, budget-friendly, and flavorful dessert.
