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 in the produce section of your local supermarket or farmers' markets. In specialty or Latin American grocery stores, you might find fresh corn or frozen corn kernels suitable for this recipe. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods aisle or in stores that sell Mexican or Central American ingredients. If fresh corn isn’t available, frozen corn kernels are a good alternative. Grated coconut can be bought pre-grated in the baking or international aisle or prepared fresh from a coconut at Asian or Latin markets. For a more authentic flavor, try to source organic or farm-fresh corn and coconut, or use dried corn husks from specialty stores.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or carefully scraping
- Blend the kernels with water until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and salt to the mixture and stir well to combine
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming compact 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
Observations
Sweet pamonha is a classic Brazilian treat made with fresh corn, offering a tender texture and irresistible flavor. In this recipe, we use the entire cob, wrapping the mixture in corn husks for shaping and cooking, resulting in a homemade delicacy that’s fragrant and full of flavor. Ideal for those looking for a simple, budget-friendly dessert with authentic taste.
