Homemade Creamy Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh sweet corn can be found at local markets or supermarkets in the produce section. Choose ears with bright green husks and plump, milky kernels for the best results. Whole milk and granulated sugar are available in the dairy and baking aisles of any grocery store.

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 the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fibers, pressing down 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 to the bottom, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  7. Pour the dessert into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until set.
