Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Corn

  1. 1

    Soak the Corn

    In a large bowl, soak the dried corn in water overnight. This will help soften the kernels.

  2. 2

    Cook the Corn

    After soaking, drain the corn and place it in a pot with 6 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 1 to 2 hours until the corn is tender.

Making the Mazamorra

  1. 3

    Add Sugar and Cinnamon

    Once the corn is tender, add 1 cup of sugar, the cinnamon stick, and 1 tsp of salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Continue to simmer the mixture for another 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the consistency to thicken slightly.

  3. 5

    Remove from Heat

    Once the mazamorra reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Serving the Mazamorra

  1. 6

    Serve Warm or Chilled

    You can serve mazamorra warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Ladle it into bowls.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    If desired, top the mazamorra with a drizzle of milk, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and chopped fruits for added flavor and texture.
