Creamy Homemade Sweet Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon, for dusting
1 cup whole milk
7 fresh corn cobs
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh corn at local markets or produce stalls. Use whole dairy milk from the supermarket's refrigerated section. For the best result, select cobs with bright, plump kernels.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the corn cobs.
  2. Place the corn kernels into a blender, then add the milk and sugar.
  3. Blend the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible and discard the tough fibers.
  5. Pour the strained liquid into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy pudding consistency.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately or refrigerate until set.
