Instructions
- Blend the corn kernels with half the milk until you have a fairly fine purée.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the corn purée and sugar, then stir for 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Dissolve the cornflour in the rest of the cold milk and pour it into the pan, whisking.
- Let it thicken for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is a coating cream.
- Off the heat, stir in the beaten eggs and the pinch of salt, then return briefly to low heat without letting it boil.
- Pour into ramekins, sprinkle with cinnamon and let cool, or serve lukewarm with the crumbled cheese.
Variations and tips
Coconut milk version. Replace half the milk with coconut milk for a more exotic flavour.
Using what's easy to find. If you don't have fresh corn, use a tin of sweet corn, well drained.
