1 cup full-cream milk
7 ears of fresh corn
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 cup full-cream milk
7 ears of fresh corn
1/2 cup caster sugar
Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn cobs can be found at local vegetable markets or bazaar stalls. Full-cream milk and caster sugar are available at any general grocery store or neighborhood supermarket. For the best result, ensure the corn is tender and freshly harvested.
Preparation method
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
- Place the corn kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
- Blend thoroughly until you reach a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any excess fiber, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Pour the strained mixture into a heavy-bottomed pot and place over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
- Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until firm.
