This is just what I was looking for! I'd had sweet corn tamales before, but hadn't been able to find a recipe like them since. They only seem to show up around Christmas in California, and my friends tell me that's traditional. These aren't a main dish. They are more of a dessert, or special dish - an I love them!

These were too sweet and not what I'd call a main dish recipe.

too sweet, the husks need more time to be more pliable, the taste is good as a basic recipe from which you can expand and add flavors you love, just about anything works well with corn

I have made these a few times now, each time I get requests for more. People love the sweetness. It's like a new twist on an old favorite. I've mixed ion pepper jack cheese and green chilies for a sweet and savory tamale, or mixed in apples and cinnamon for a dessert tamale. Excellent!

We eat tamales often here in southern New Mexico and so the bar is fairly high. We were not so impressed with the sweetness of the tamale. We augmented this recipe to make it more southwestern by adding some heat, reducing the sweet and adding some meat!
