Step-by-Step Instructions for Brazilian Corn Pudding

Start by shucking approximately 3 ears of fresh corn. Cut the kernels off the cobs and measure out about 3 cups.
In a blender, combine the fresh corn with 2 cups of whole milk. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the corn mixture through a cheesecloth or fine strainer over a large bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
Combine the strained corn milk with 1/2 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt in a large pot. Heat over medium while stirring gently.
Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens. If needed, add a mix of corn starch and water.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and divide into serving dishes or refrigerate. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
