Creamy sweet corn pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Sugar to taste
10 soft fresh corn cobs
1/2 liter milk
1 tablespoon butter

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn cobs can be found at local farmers' markets or vegetable produce aisles. Ensure you select soft, milky cobs for the best consistency. Butter and milk are staples easily sourced at any neighborhood general store or supermarket.

Preparation method

  1. Grate all the corn cobs using a grater or cut the kernels off with a knife and blend them in a blender with the milk.
  2. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pulp, ensuring a smooth cream.
  3. Add the sugar and butter to the strained corn cream.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  5. Cook until the mixture achieves the consistency of a thick, glossy porridge.
  6. Transfer the curau while still warm to plates lightly moistened with water and let it cool before serving.
