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

You can find fresh ears of corn and dairy products at local open-air markets or larger grocery stores in the fresh produce and dairy aisles.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels from all the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels into a blender, add the milk and the sugar.
  3. Blend thoroughly until you reach a smooth mixture.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fibers, pressing well 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 dessert to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
