12 fresh corn cobs with husks, good quality

400 g of sugar

Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh corn on the cob in the produce section of your local supermarket or farmers' market. Corn husks are often sold in the same section or in the dried goods aisle, especially in stores with Latin American or Asian products. Grated coconut can be found in the frozen section or in specialty stores that sell tropical ingredients. Sugar is available in the baking aisle. If fresh corn isn't available, frozen or canned corn can be used, but fresh is preferred for the best flavor. Corn husks can sometimes be found in Asian or Latin grocery stores or online specialty shops. If unavailable, banana leaves can be used as an alternative wrapping, though it will slightly change the presentation.
Preparation method
- Remove the kernels from the corn cobs by scraping or cutting close to the cob
- Blend the kernels with water until smooth
- Add the grated coconut and sugar to the mixture and stir well to combine
- Take a portion of the batter and wrap it in a corn husk, forming a tight cylinder
- Tie the ends with a piece of husk or kitchen twine
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil
- Once boiling, carefully place the pamonhas into the water one by one
- Ensure the water is boiling vigorously before adding to prevent them from falling apart
- Cook for about 40 minutes, using a slotted spoon to remove the pamonhas from the hot water
- After cooking, let them cool in a cool place before serving
