Pamonha Doce

Pamonha Doce is a traditional Brazilian dessert made from fresh corn, offering a delightful sweetness and creamy texture. This vegetarian treat is wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection, making it a unique and satisfying dessert.

Ingredients

• Fresh corn kernels - 500 grams
• Sugar - 100 grams
• Coconut milk - 150 ml
• Cornstarch - 40 grams
• Salt - a pinch
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Corn husks - for wrapping

Steps

1. Soak the corn husks in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften them.
2. In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels, sugar, coconut milk, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
3. Take a corn husk, and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the corn mixture into the center.
