- 1 cup Coconut milk

👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh corn kernels, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract.
💡 Професійні поради: Blend until mostly smooth, but a few small corn pieces are acceptable for texture. - 2
Process the mixture until it forms a thick batter. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two more of coconut milk.
💡 Професійні поради: The consistency should be similar to thick pancake batter. - 3
Drain the soaked corn husks and pat them dry. Lay out a corn husk flat. Place about 1/4 cup of the corn batter in the center of the wider end of the husk.
💡 Професійні поради: Use 2-3 husks per bollo for better structure. - 4
Fold the sides of the corn husk over the batter, then fold the bottom end up. Secure with kitchen twine if needed.
- 5
Arrange the prepared bollos upright in a steamer basket over boiling water. Make sure they are not touching each other.
💡 Професійні поради: You may need to steam in batches depending on the size of your steamer. - 6
Cover the steamer and steam for 40-50 minutes, or until the bollos are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
💡 Професійні поради: Maintain a steady boil throughout the steaming process. - 7
Carefully remove the bollos from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
💡 Професійні поради: Gently unwrap the corn husks before eating.
