Corn and Coconut Pudding

4.1

Majarete

A typical Dominican meal usually ends with nothing more than a cup of coffee and a simple dessert. That ethos is perfectly captured in this traditional pudding, with an unexpected—and delicious—interplay between the sweet corn and the tropical coconut.

Cooks' note

Pudding can be chilled, covered after 1 hour, up to 3 days. It will continue to set as it chills.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 hr

  • Yield

    Makes 6 (dessert) servings

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups corn (from 4 ears; reserve cobs)
1 cup well-stirred unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon plus additional for sprinkling

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Scrape cobs with a knife over a bowl to extract "milk." Blend corn and its milk with remaining ingredients and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth. Force through a sieve into a heavy medium saucepan, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, then boil, whisking, 5 minutes. Divide among 6 (6-ounce) custard cups and chill, uncovered, until cool, at least 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
