Creamy Fresh Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste, for dusting
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh green corn
1/2 cup refined sugar

Where to find ingredients

Find fresh corn at local farmer's markets or grocery stores. Whole milk and refined sugar are available in any supermarket. As a substitute for fresh corn, though less traditional, canned corn can be used, but it will affect the authentic texture.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels to a blender, add the milk and the sugar.
  3. Blend very well until you reach a smooth mixture.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the excess fiber, pressing well with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained content into a pot and place it over medium heat.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately or refrigerate to cool.
