Directions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, combine the strained corn liquid, condensed milk, and margarine.

  3. 3

  4. 4

  6. 6

    Top with ground cinnamon or shredded coconut before serving.

💡 Chef's Tip

Serve warm for an ultra-creamy texture, or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer consistency. Swap margarine for unsalted butter for a richer flavor.
