Kitchen View

Step 1

In medium saucepan over medium heat, bring whole milk, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg to simmer. Remove pan from heat; cover and let steep 10 minutes; remove and discard cinnamon sticks.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in blender, blend together corn, coconut milk, sugar and cornstarch until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Using fine-hole mesh strainer, strain corn mixture into saucepan of steeped milk, pressing out all liquid; stir to combine.

Step 3

Bring corn mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently and scraping bottom of pot with flat spatula to prevent scorching. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly, 1 minute. Divide corn mixture evenly among 6 small dessert cups, or one medium-large serving bowl; cool about 10 minutes. Cover and transfer cups to refrigerator; chill until cold and set, at least 45 minutes. Garnish with ground cinnamon, if desired.
