Curau de Milho

Instructions

1. 1 Cut the kernels from the fresh corn cobs and place them in a blender with the milk, blending on high speed until you get a very smooth, creamy liquid.
2. 2 Strain the blended corn mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing with a spoon to extract all the liquid and leaving the fibrous pulp behind.
3. 3 Add the sugar, butter, and salt to the strained corn milk, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps and sticking.
4. 4 Continue stirring for 15 to 20 minutes as the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency that holds its shape briefly when you drag a spoon through it.
5. 5 Pour the warm pudding into individual serving bowls or one large dish, let it cool to room temperature, then dust generously with ground cinnamon before serving.
