Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs at local farmers' markets or produce sections in supermarkets, especially during peak corn season. For the grated coconut, check the frozen section or tropical product aisle. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods or international foods aisle, or in specialty stores that sell Latin American or Caribbean ingredients. If fresh cobs are unavailable, frozen or pre-cut kernels are acceptable. For a more authentic flavor, try to source organic or locally grown corn and coconut. In some regions, local markets or ethnic grocery stores might carry these ingredients, or you can ask vendors at farmers' markets for freshly harvested corn and coconut.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or gently scraping
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and salt to the mixture and stir well to combine
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming neat packages
- Fold the husks over and tie securely to prevent leaks during boiling
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil
- Submerge the pamonha packages one by one into the boiling water, maintaining a steady boil
- Cook for about 40 minutes until firm and cooked through
- Remove the pamonhas with a slotted spoon and let cool in a cool place
- Serve the sweet pamonha with coffee or grated cheese, as preferred
