Atol De Elote

Atol De Elote
Honduras
⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4-5 ears of corn) or 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Corn

If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs. You should have about 4 cups of corn kernels.

Blend the corn kernels with 1 cup of water until smooth. If using frozen corn, simply blend it until smooth.

Cook the Corn Mixture

In a large pot, combine the blended corn mixture with the remaining 1 cup of water and the milk. Stir to combine.

Add Sugar and Salt

Stir in the sugar and salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to heat up and thicken slightly.

Thicken the Mixture

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry.

Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the corn mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-10 minutes.

Finish

If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
