Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Corn Milk

Grind the sweet corn kernels with 1/2 cup of water in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the milk from the pulp.

Cook the Corn Milk

Pour the corn milk into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the raw corn smell disappears. Stir occasionally.

Prepare the Rice Flour Slurry

In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice flour and 1/4 cup of water until a smooth, lump-free slurry forms.

Combine and Cook the Custard

Gradually whisk the rice flour slurry into the simmering corn milk. Add the sugar and continue to whisk constantly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the custard thickens slightly. Reduce heat to low and stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Cool and Serve

Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool completely to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Add Fruit and Chill

Once cooled, gently fold in your chosen fruits. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to chill thoroughly. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For a richer flavor, use fresh, ripe sweet corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before blending.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. You can also use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
Experiment with different fruits! Peaches, berries, and mangoes all work wonderfully in this recipe.
For a smoother custard, strain the corn milk through a fine-mesh sieve a second time before adding the rice flour slurry.
