Majarete [Video + Recipe] Dominican Corn Pudding

1. Prepare corn

1. Shuck (remove husk and silk from) the corncobs. Using a sharp knife cut kernels from cob about ⅔ the depth of the kernels.

2. Blending

1. Blend the corn kernels together with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon powder, milk, salt, and half a cup of water. Pass the mixture through a strain and keep the liquid (discard the solid parts).

3. Making the pudding

1. Pour the blended mixture into a 3 quart [3 lt] saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cook over over medium heat stirring constantly to avoid sticking. When it thickens to the consistency of drinkable yogurt remove from the heat (15 mins approx). Taste and stir in sugar to taste if you find it necessary.

4. Cool the pudding

1. Place the pot into another pot containing cold water (as in the video), stir until the pudding cools down (this will prevent a crust from forming).

5. Serve

1. Pour into small bowls or ice cream glasses. Sprinkle with a small amount of nutmeg on the bowls. If you prefer, chill before serving.
