4 ears of sweet corn
500 ml plant-based milk
100 g demerara sugar
Ground cinnamon to sprinkle
4 ears of sweet corn

Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn, vegetable milk, demerara sugar, salt, and cinnamon can be found at most grocery stores and supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Cut the corn kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife
- Place the kernels in a blender, add the plant-based milk, and blend until you have a smooth mixture
- Pass the mixture through a fine or medium-mesh sieve, pressing well to extract all the juice and discard the fibers
- Transfer the strained liquid to a saucepan, adding the sugar and the pinch of salt
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula so that no lumps form at the bottom of the pan
- Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency
- Pour the corn pudding (curau) into a large serving dish or individual bowls
- Let it cool to room temperature and then place it in the fridge to set
- Finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top before serving
Observations
This recipe uses fresh green corn to ensure the best flavor. The secret to a velvety consistency is to ensure the mixture is well strained before cooking and to keep stirring constantly in the pan to prevent lumps. This dessert is a staple in the Northeastern region of Brazil, often enjoyed during June festivals.
