Sweet Corn Dessert

What a way to top off my cooking week with corn seeing its been a 'corny' week hahaha.. Jokes aside, today i made a sweet corn dessert. It has no name to it but its a little like soup but sweet. So ill just call it corny corn dessert seeing i cant think of any other name for it .. Anyways this is a fast simple dessert to make and delicious too. Its great eaten hot or cold tho i like it a little on the warm side. The recipes calls for coconut milk but for heatlh conscious individuals you can always substitute the coconut milk with regular milk though i have never tried it with milk but according to mom its a possibility .. anyways below is a picture of the corn dessert in the pot. The green string like things you see are the fragrant pandan leaves ..

Sweet Corn Dessert
Ingredients
4 ears of corn
6 tbsps sugar** (you can adjust the sweetness according to your tastebuds)
1/2 cup and a tbsp coconut milk*
pinch of salt
3 pieces pandan leaves (tied together in a knot)

Directions
1.Scrape off corn kernels into a pot. Add a little water so its submerged with a pinch of salt and boil for about 10-15mins or until tender.
2. Add sugar ,coconut milk & pandan leaves and stir for about 5mins
3. Let it simmer for another 10mins until its thicken a litle & then turn off the stove.

Note: the amount and sugar is entirely up to you if you want it thick or runny or way sweet or just nice. We are use to making this using fresh corn so i am not really sure how creamed corn or frozen kernels will taste like but i think it should be alright ...

If anyone tries this recipe using milk or frozen corn or creamed corn please tell me how it went ..

Have fun trying!
