Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

Fresh corn can be sourced from local markets (sokoni). Use whole milk and standard granulated sugar available at any grocery shop or supermarket in the region.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the corn kernels from the cobs.
  2. Place the kernels into a blender, adding the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend thoroughly until you achieve a smooth mixture.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing down firmly with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, dust with cinnamon powder, and serve immediately or refrigerate to cool.
