Creamy Homemade Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde e)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon for dusting to taste
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup caster sugar

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh sweet corn at local wet markets (look for husked, bright yellow ears) or supermarket produce aisles. Whole milk and caster sugar are available in the dairy and baking sections of any major supermarket chain. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can substitute with canned corn, though fresh provides the authentic texture.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob from all the ears of corn.
  2. Place the corn kernels, milk, and sugar into a high-speed blender.
  3. Process the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth.
  4. Pass the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the liquid and discard the fibrous skins.
  5. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent scorching, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy pudding consistency.
  7. Pour the pudding into a serving dish, garnish with a dusting of cinnamon, and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
