Curau is a delightful Brazilian dessert made from fresh corn, milk, and sugar, resulting in a creamy and sweet pudding.

This traditional treat has its roots in the rural areas of Brazil, where it has been enjoyed for generations, especially during the Festa Junina celebrations.

To prepare Curau, blend the corn kernels with milk until smooth, then cook the mixture with sugar until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Finally, serve it with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor.

For a unique twist, you can add a hint of vanilla or coconut milk to the mixture, enhancing its richness and depth of flavor.

In Brazil, Curau is often served chilled or at room temperature, making it a refreshing dessert option on a warm day.

While Curau is a delicious and satisfying dessert, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its sugar content. Opting for fresh corn and using less sugar can make this treat a healthier choice.
