1. 1 Peel the corn cob, keeping the stem to use as a handle.
2. 2 Grill the corn on the charcoal for 12 minutes, turning it regularly until the kernels are golden brown and fragrant.
3. 3 Spread unsalted butter on the corn, then spread a layer of mayonnaise over it while it's still hot.
4. 4 Roll the corn kernels in the grated fresh cheese until evenly coated.
5. 5 Sprinkle with red chili powder, a pinch of salt, and squeeze some lemon juice before eating.

With an appliance

• Oven 23 min

  Replace step 2: Place the corn on the racks of the oven at 230 degrees for 14 minutes, rotate the tray and turn the corn after 7 minutes; the kernels will be evenly golden brown, no need to turn them over, but they will lack the smoky flavor.
