Creamy Fresh Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to sprinkle as desired
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh green corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn can be found at local produce markets or greengrocers. Standard whole milk and granulated sugar are available at any local supermarket.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully shave the kernels off all the ears of corn.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels to a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend very well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing well with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained content into a pot and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately or refrigerate to cool.
