Creamy Fresh Corn Pudding (Curau de milho verde)

Ingredients

Ground cinnamon to taste for sprinkling
1 cup whole milk
7 ears fresh green corn
1/2 cup refined sugar

Where to find ingredients

Fresh green corn can be found at local produce markets or grocery store vegetable sections. Whole milk and refined sugar are standard items available at any local grocery store or supermarket.

Preparation method

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off all the corn cobs.
  2. Transfer the corn kernels to a blender, add the milk and the sugar.
  3. Blend very well until the mixture is homogeneous.
  4. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess fiber, pressing well with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
  5. Pour the strained mixture into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
  6. Cook while stirring constantly with a spatula so it does not stick to the bottom, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Transfer the pudding to a serving dish, finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately or refrigerate to chill.
