Ingredients

Ground cinnamon for dusting to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweetcorn
1/2 cup caster sugar

Where to find ingredients

  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, add the milk and sugar
  3. Blend thoroughly until you have a smooth mixture

  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan and place over medium heat
  6. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon on top and serve immediately or refrigerate to chill
