Prepare the sweet corn

Start by shucking and cleaning fresh sweet corn. Remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife or a corn stripper. Collect the corn kernels in a bowl and set aside.

2

Make the arepa dough

In a blender or food processor, blend the sweet corn kernels until smooth. Pour the blended corn into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups of pre-cooked cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.

3

Shape and cook the arepas

Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into flat discs, about 1/2 inch thick. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Cook the arepas for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.

Serve and enjoy

Remove the cooked arepas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice them open and fill them with your favorite sweet toppings like honey, maple syrup, Nutella, or fresh fruits. Serve warm and enjoy this delectable sweet corn arepas!
