Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon for dusting, to taste
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

  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 thoroughly until you reach a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any excess fiber, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a heavy-bottomed pot and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding into a serving dish, dust the top with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until firm.
