Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste for sprinkling
1 cup whole milk
7 ears of fresh green corn
1/2 cup refined sugar

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh corn at local 'palengke' (wet markets) or grocery store produce sections. For the best results, choose ears with bright, tight husks. Use whole dairy milk from the refrigerated aisle and standard refined sugar found in the baking supplies section.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the kernels off each ear of corn.
  2. Transfer 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, pressing down with a spoon to strain out the excess fiber and extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained liquid 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, and serve immediately or refrigerate until cooled.

Observations

The curau de milho verde is a quintessential Brazilian dessert, a staple at traditional June festivals (festas juninas) and a treat enjoyed year-round. Its velvety texture and the natural sweetness of fresh corn make this dish a practical and satisfying option to serve after a meal or as an afternoon snack. You can enjoy it either warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
