Where to find ingredients
You can find sweet corn, milk, and water at any local supermarket. For the 'curau' (sweet corn pudding), it is traditionally homemade from fresh corn, but it can be found in specialized Latin American grocery shops. As a substitute for store-bought curau, you may blend fresh sweet corn kernels with a little milk and sugar, then cook until thickened before cooling.
Preparation method
- Place the chilled, pre-made corn pudding into a blender.
- Add the chilled milk and water to the blender container.
- Blend all ingredients until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Add ice cubes to a glass and serve the juice immediately.
- The corn pudding base can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours before preparing the juice.
