HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized round baking dish.

02

In a blender, combine the drained sweet corn, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.

03

Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish.

04

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, and the center is mostly firm with a slight jiggle. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.

05

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and chill.

06

Before serving, sprinkle the top with unsweetened shredded coconut. Slice and enjoy this creamy Brazilian dessert.

Chef's Tips

For the best texture and flavor, ensure the pudding is thoroughly chilled before serving. If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before baking, though the small corn flecks add a nice rustic touch. Do not overbake, as this can lead to a dry texture; the pudding will continue to set as it cools.

Easy Substitutions

If fresh sweet corn is in season, you can use about 3 cups of kernels (from 3-4 ears), briefly cooked until tender, instead of canned corn. For a less rich pudding, you can use light coconut milk, but the texture may be slightly less creamy. A pinch of ground cinnamon can be added to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage & Reheating
