Ingredients for Sweet Corn Porridge:
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar;
- 1 tbsp melted butter;
- 1 tbsp cornstarch;
- 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained;
- 2 cans (use the empty corn can as a measure) whole milk;
- Ground cinnamon to taste, for dusting.
How to Make Sweet Corn Porridge:
- In a blender, add the drained sweet corn;

- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency;

Tip:
For an even creamier texture, swap the sugar for sweetened condensed milk. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
