🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 5 ears of fresh sweet corn
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon for topping (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the corn kernels from the cobs and place them in a blender with the whole milk. Blend on high speed for 3 minutes until completely smooth.

  2. 2

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly to extract all the liquid. Discard the fibrous pulp.

  3. 3

    Pour the strained liquid into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10–12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour into a serving dish or individual ramekins. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired.

  6. 6

    Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve well chilled.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an extra creamy result, replace ¾ cup of the milk with heavy cream. The pudding keeps covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days — the flavor actually improves overnight.
