Where to find ingredients
Find fresh sweet corn at local markets or produce greengrocers. If fresh corn is unavailable, some recipes may substitute with high-quality canned corn, though the traditional texture is best achieved with fresh cobs.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn cobs with a grater or cut the kernels with a knife and blend with the milk in a blender.
- Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the pulp, ensuring a smooth cream.
- Add the sugar and butter to the strained corn cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until the mixture reaches the consistency of a thick and glossy porridge.
- Transfer the hot pudding into dishes lightly moistened with water and let it cool before serving.
