Creamy fresh corn curau (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

100 g demerara sugar
500 ml plant-based milk
ground cinnamon for sprinkling
4 ears fresh green corn
1 pinch salt

Where to find ingredients

In Singapore, fresh corn, demerara sugar, plant-based milk, cinnamon and salt can be found in supermarkets and wet markets. Use fresh corn cobs for the original flavour; canned corn is only a substitute if fresh corn is unavailable.

Preparation method

  1. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife
  2. Place the kernels in the blender, add the plant-based milk and blend until smooth
  3. Pass the mixture through a fine or medium sieve, pressing well to extract all the juice and discard the fibres
  4. Transfer the strained liquid to a pan, adding the sugar and the pinch of salt
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula so lumps do not form on the bottom of the pan
  6. As soon as it starts to boil, reduce the heat and keep stirring until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency
  7. Pour the curau into a large dish or individual small bowls
  8. Let it cool at room temperature and then place it in the fridge to firm up
  9. Finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon over the top before serving

Observations

Curau de milho is a beloved Brazilian corn dessert, appreciated for its fresh corn flavour and dense, creamy texture. This version uses fresh cobs for a clean aroma and natural sweetness.

For a smooth finish, strain the blended corn well and keep stirring during cooking so the cream thickens without lumps.
