Majarete

Ingredients

Corn kernels

2 cups, fresh or frozen

Coconut milk

2 cups

Sugar

1/2 cup

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon (for garnish)

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Cornstarch

1/4 cup

Water

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the corn kernels and coconut milk. Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the corn and coconut mixture with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until well combined and smooth. Gradually add this cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes before pouring it into individual serving bowls or molds.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the Majarete is fully set.
6. Before serving, sprinkle each serving with ground cinnamon for an aromatic garnish.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, sweet delight of Majarete!
