Servings: 4 people
Calories: 418kcal
Ingredients
- 3 corn cobs
- 13.5 oz can coconut milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- freshly grated nutmeg garnish
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
Instructions
- With a sharp knife, cut the corn off of the corn cobs.
- In a high powered blender or food processor, blend the corn with the coconut milk and water until well blended and pureed.
- Pass through a strainer, extracting all of the liquid. Discard the solids.
- Transfer to a saucepan.
- Take a few tablespoon of the corn puree and place in a small bowl. Add cornstarch and mix well until cornstarch is well mixed in with no lumps.
- Add to the saucepan.
- Add vanilla, salt, sugar and cinnamon.
- Heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently until pudding is thickened.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- To serve, garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
Notes
- The longer you chill it, the firmer the pudding will become. For a thick pudding, let it chill overnight.
- After chilling, you can also reheat in the microwave for 1 minute to enjoy it warm.
- This pudding can be enjoyed chilled or warm.
- Use canned coconut milk. Carton coconut milk is thinner and will not yield the same result.
- You can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar or palm sugar.
