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 at local farmers' markets or supermarkets with a good produce section. Corn husks can often be found in the dried goods or international aisle, especially in stores catering to Latin American or Asian communities. If fresh husks are unavailable, dried ones are a suitable substitute, just soak them in water before use. Grated coconut is typically available in the frozen section or in the international aisle. For a more authentic flavor, opt for fresh or frozen grated coconut rather than desiccated coconut. Sugar and salt are standard pantry items, easily sourced at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Carefully remove the kernels from the cobs by slicing close to the cob or gently scraping
- Blend the kernels with water in a blender until smooth
- Add the grated coconut, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir well until combined
- Take small portions of the batter and wrap them in corn husks, forming neat packages
- Fold the husks and tie them securely to prevent leaks during steaming
- 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 preferred
