Soak corn in water overnight.

Drain and blend soaked corn with milk until smooth.

Melt butter in a bowl, then mix in cheese, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Add blended corn mixture to the butter mixture and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add vanilla extract, then mix into the corn batter.

Gradually fold in cornmeal, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well incorporated.

Prepare a steamer with water and bring to a boil.

Spoon the corn mixture into individual molds or a baking dish.

Place molds in the steamer and cover, cooking for 45-60 minutes until set.

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
