Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste for dusting
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

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend thoroughly until you reach a smooth, uniform consistency.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fibers, pressing firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens to a creamy custard consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.

Observations

The Curau de milho verde is a quintessential Brazilian dessert, a staple at mid-year harvest festivals and a beloved year-round treat. Its velvety texture and the wholesome flavor of fresh corn make it a practical and indulgent choice for a post-meal sweet or a cozy afternoon snack, served either warm or chilled.
