Step 1
Drain the purple corn, reserving the liquid. Pour the corn and its reserved liquid into a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Mix cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold water until smooth. Pour the slurry into the boiling corn, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Stir in condensed milk and cinnamon until smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Pour into serving bowls. Garnish with a whole clove if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
