How to Make Majarete Corn Pudding Dessert

**Prep the Corn:** Using a sharp knife, scrape the kernels from approximately 4-5 ears of fresh corn. (Yielding about 4 cups of kernels)
**Blend the Ingredients:** In a high-speed blender, combine the corn kernels, 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
**Strain for Smoothness (Optional):** For an extra-silky smooth texture, carefully pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
**Cook on the Stovetop:** Pour the strained mixture into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula or whisk, to prevent sticking and burning. The mixture will gradually thicken.
**Reach the Right Consistency:** Continue stirring until the Majarete reaches a pudding-like consistency, thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
**Serve & Chill:** Remove from heat and immediately pour into small serving bowls. Sprinkle generously with extra ground cinnamon. Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 15 minutes to allow it to fully set and chill. This enhances the flavor and creaminess.
**Enjoy!** Serve chilled and savor the delightful taste of authentic Dominican Majarete!
