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 local markets or supermarkets, especially in the fresh produce section. Corn husks are often sold in the same area or in specialty stores that cater to Latin American or Brazilian ingredients. If unavailable, dried corn husks can be found in Asian or Latin grocery stores, or online. Grated coconut can be bought pre-packaged in the frozen or dried section, or grated fresh from tropical markets. Sugar and salt are standard pantry items, easily available at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or gently 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 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 desired
