Instructions

The night before making, soak the corn in enough cold water to cover.
On the day of preparation, rinse the corn, place in a large heavy-bottom pan with 1 quart (950 mL) of cold water, and let cook, covered, over medium-low heat for about 60-75 minutes. After cooking, add the condensed milk, fresh milk, sugar, the cinnamon stick, the cloves, and the nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer uncovered for about 15 additional minutes.
Add the vanilla, the coconut milk, and a dash of ground cinnamon. Stir well, and remove from heat. Pour in serving bowls and sprinkle cinnamon on the top. Serve sweet corn-coconut pudding warm or chilled.
