Ingredients
1 cup of water
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 ears of fresh corn with husks
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of grated coconut
12 ears of fresh corn with husks
Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn at local farmers' markets or supermarkets with a good produce section. Corn with husks is common in the fresh produce aisle during the harvest season. Grated coconut can be found in the frozen foods section or in specialty stores that stock tropical ingredients. For a more authentic flavor, use fresh corn on the cob and freshly grated coconut. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels are a suitable substitute, but fresh is preferred for the best texture and flavor.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or carefully scraping
- 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 sealed packages
- Fold the husks and tie them securely to prevent leaks during cooking
- 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 desired
