Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 fresh corn cobs with husks
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn cobs at your local farmers' market or supermarket’s produce section, especially during corn season. The husks are usually found bundled with the corn or in the vegetable aisle. Grated coconut can be bought frozen or fresh in Latin or Caribbean markets. Sugar and salt are standard grocery items. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels can be used as a substitute. For the husks, some supermarkets sell dried corn husks in the baking or international foods aisle, or you can ask at Latin or Caribbean markets for fresh or dried husks suitable for wrapping.
Preparation method
- Carefully cut the kernels off the cobs close to the silk or grate them gently
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and salt to the mixture and stir well until combined
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming neat packages
- Fold the husks and tie them securely to prevent leaks during boiling
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil
- Submerge the pamonha packages one by one into the boiling water, maintaining a steady boil
- Cook for about 40 minutes until firm and cooked through
- Remove the pamonhas with a slotted spoon and let cool in a cool place
- Serve the sweet pamonha with coffee or grated cheese, as preferred
