1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh sweet corn, milk, and sugar at local markets or grocery stores. If fresh corn is unavailable, you may use frozen kernels as a substitute, although fresh cobs provide the traditional flavor and texture.
Preparation method
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
- Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
- Blend thoroughly until you reach a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fibers, pressing firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens to a creamy custard consistency.
- Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
