Ingredients

  • 5 cups water
  • 500 g package of white corn
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 whole vanilla bean or 1-2 teaspoons vanilla bean extract
  • 1 cup dehydrated unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 13 oz can coconut milk
  • A pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Rinse the white corn thoroughly in a strainer under cool water until the water runs clear. Allow it to drain for a few minutes.
  • Transfer the washed corn to an instant pot or pressure cooker. Add all 5 cups of water, cover, and cook on the manual setting for 40 minutes.
  • While the corn cooks, hydrate the shredded coconut. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, vanilla bean (or vanilla extract), and nutmeg.
  • Once the corn has finished cooking, carefully release the pressure and open the lid.
  • Pour the milk and coconut mixture into the cooked corn. Switch to sauté mode (with the lid open) and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens and the flavors meld.
  • Serve warm, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or toasted coconut if desired.
