Peel the husks and remove the silk from the fresh corn.

Measure about 4-5 cups of corn kernels.

Place the corn kernels in a blender or food processor.

Add granulated sugar, softened butter, milk, grated coconut, salt, and ground cinnamon to the blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy to create a batter.

Prepare the wrappers by cutting banana leaves or aluminum foil into 8-10 inch squares.

If using banana leaves, briefly pass them over an open flame to soften them.

Wrap the blended corn mixture in the prepared wrappers to prevent it from coming out during cooking.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot.

Carefully place the wrapped pomonas into the boiling water.

Cook for about 40-45 minutes or until they have set and become firm.

Remove the pomonas from the boiling water and let them cool for a few minutes.

Unwrap the pomonas and serve them warm or at room temperature.
