Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn is readily available in the produce section of most supermarkets and farmers' markets, especially during corn season. Plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk) can be found in the dairy or health food aisle of supermarkets. Demerara sugar is available in the sugar aisle of most supermarkets. Salt and ground cinnamon are pantry staples found in the spice aisle.
Preparation method
- Use a sharp knife to remove the kernels from the corn cobs
- Place the kernels in a blender along with the plant-based milk
- Blend well until you obtain a completely homogeneous mixture
- Strain the preparation using a coarse-mesh sieve to remove the fibers
- Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and add the sugar and salt
- Place over medium heat and stir continuously to prevent the mixture from lumping
- Continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil
- Reduce the heat and maintain cooking, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens
- Pour the curau into a serving dish or distribute into individual bowls
- Let it cool at room temperature
- Refrigerate to set before serving
- Finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon over the pudding before serving
Observations
This recipe uses fresh corn kernels to ensure the best flavor. The secret to a velvety consistency is to ensure the mixture is well-strained before cooking and to keep stirring constantly in the pot to prevent lumps from forming.
