• In a medium saucepan mix milk and Harina P.A.N until smooth and no lumps. Add coconut milk and mix well until smooth.
• Turn the heat on to medium and let the mixture come to a boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar, papelon, coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, and salt; stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 - 5 minutes.
• Remove the cinnamon sticks and discard.
• Transfer mixture to a big bowl, or several individual bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set and firm.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle with more coconut flakes and ground cinnamon on top, if desired. Serve cool.
• Optional to serve: add a little bit of sugar, about 1/2 teaspoon, over the tops of the majaretes. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top.

[RECIPE + VIDEO] DOMINICAN MAJARETE (CORN PUDDING)

Steps:

• Prepare corn: Shuck (remove husk and silk from) the corncobs. Using a sharp knife cut kernels from cob about 2/3 the depth of the kernels.
• Blending: Blend the corn kernels together with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon powder, milk, salt, and half a cup of water. Pass the mixture through a strain and keep the liquid (discard the solid parts).
• Making the pudding: Pour the blended mixture into a 3 quart [3 lt] saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cook over over medium heat stirring constantly to avoid sticking. When it thickens to the consistency of drinkable yogurt remove from the heat (15 mins approx). Taste and stir in sugar to taste if you find it necessary.
• Cool the pudding: Place the pot into another pot containing cold water (as in the video), stir until the pudding cools down (this will prevent a crust from forming).
• Serving: Pour into small bowls or ice cream glasses. Sprinkle with a small amount of nutmeg on the bowls. If you prefer, chill before serving.
