Delicious Brazilian pudding for winter festivals in June.
Ingredients:
- 8 cups water
- 1 pound dried hominy
- 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
- 3 (2 inch) sticks cinnamon sticks
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
- 8 whole cloves
- 1.75 cups freshly grated coconut
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine hominy and water, and let soak for 8 hours to overnight.
- The following day, bring the soaked hominy and liquid to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the hominy is tender, approximately 1 hour. Stir in coconut milk, condensed milk, regular milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon sticks, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens, which should take around 15 minutes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as desired with additional sugar. Mix in coconut. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
