  • Answer:

    Arepas aren't really sweet and you can't stuff then with chocolate. Gross! Corn Pudding Venezuelan name: Majarete Serves 4 Cold Vegetarian Dessert Gluten Wheat free Eggless Venezuela Sth American south America Ingredients 720ml/24fl.oz. Milk The kernels from 4 Fresh Corn Cobs 125g/5oz Sugar 480ml/16fl.oz. Coconut Milk 1 teasp Vanilla Extract A pinch of Salt 4 x 7cm/3-inch Cinnamon Sticks Ground Cinnamon to serve Instructions 1. Place all the ingredients apart the ground cinnamon in a food processor and process until well blended. 2. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a large heavy saucepan, bring to simmering point over a medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens. 3. Transfer immediately to individual serving bowls, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and allow to cool to room temperature. 4. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. Note: It's not clear the origin of arepas. I'll leave you a quote: "The arepa was the corn bread of the Timoto-cuicas native American nation that lived in the northern Andean mountains of Venezuela who learned how to grow maize from the Quechuas (Peru) and Mayas (Mexico) where the crop was originally from. The larger native American nations of Venezuela (Arawaks in the central plains and Caribes in the East and in the rain forests, from Argentina to the Islands named for them) widely used the form of bread called Casabe, made from Yuca roots. With the colonization process the maize (corn) bread was widely spread throughout the country and into Colombia, then named Nueva Granada or Santa Fe. Both Colombians and Venezuelans view the arepa as a traditional national food. The arepa has a long tradition in both countries with local recipes that are very delicious and varied." It's always an issue between Colombia and Venezuela about what's our and what's their's

Arepas (they also come from neighbor Colombia) Ingredients : 2 cup corn flour for arepas 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup grated white cheese 2 cup cool water (or more if needed) Method : 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and white cheese. Stir in enough water to make a firm, slightly moist dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 10 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 3. Oil a griddle very lightly and warm it over medium heat. Cook the arepas on the griddle for about 5 minutes on each side, until a golden brown crust forms. Transfer the arepas to a baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning them several times as they bake. Serve immediately. Serve with black beans.

Please note that Arepas aren't unique of Venezuela. In fact it's more Colombian (from the Antioquia state) than Venezuelan. As for stuffing sweets in it- that would be silly and completely inaccurate seeing that it isn't meant to be sweet.

I've eaten sweet arepitas - they serve them quite often at weddings I think. The best thing about arepas is that you can put whatever you like in them - if you want to put chocolate in them then why not?!

I thought arepas was from Colombia
