Homemade Pamonha with Sweet Corn and Coconut

Ingredients

1 pinch of salt
1 cup of water, approximately 200 ml
12 fresh corn ears with husks, high quality
1 cup of finely grated coconut, approximately 100 g
2 cups of sugar, approximately 400 g

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh corn ears in the produce section of local supermarkets or farmers' markets. Choose ears with intact, healthy green husks. Grated coconut is available in the baking aisle or the freezer section of general grocery stores.

Preparation method

  1. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs by cutting or scraping close to the cob.
  2. Blend the kernels with the water until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
  3. Add the grated coconut and sugar to the mixture and stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Take a portion of the batter and wrap it carefully in the corn husk, shaping it into a tight, sealed cylinder.
  5. Tie the ends securely with a strip of husk or kitchen twine.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  7. Once the water is at a rolling boil, gently place the pamonhas into the pot one by one.
  8. Ensure the water remains at a strong boil before adding the pamonhas to prevent them from falling apart.
  9. Cook for approximately 40 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the pamonhas from the hot water.
  10. After cooking, allow the pamonhas to cool down in a cool place before serving.
