Curau de Milho Verde (Sweet Corn Pudding - Fresh Corn)

Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh Sweet Corn Kernels (from about 6 ears)
• 4 cups Milk
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1Carefully cut the 4 cups of fresh sweet corn kernels from the ears of corn. Place the 4 cups of fresh sweet corn kernels and 4 cups of milk into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
2. 2Pour the blended corn and milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium saucepan. Use a spoon or spatula to press down on the solids in the sieve, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the corn solids left in the sieve.
3. 3Add the 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 1 pinch of salt to the liquid in the saucepan. Stir to combine.
4. 4Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk. Continue stirring for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. The curau should have a pudding-like consistency.
5. 5Pour the thickened curau into individual serving dishes or one larger serving bowl. Be careful as the mixture will be hot.
6. 6Allow the curau to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes. This helps it set further before serving.
7. 7Serve the curau warm or chilled. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for garnish.
