Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Condensed milk
- 1 cup Sweet kernel corn
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Latik (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, combine coconut milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Add the sweet kernel corn into the pot. Mix well and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to form a smooth slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering pot while continuously stirring. This prevents lumps from forming in the mixture.
Continue cooking over low heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. This may take around 10 minutes.
Once the pudding achieves a thick and creamy consistency, remove the pot from heat.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch rectangular mold or pan. Smooth out the surface using a spatula.
Allow the Maja Blanca to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
Optional: Prepare latik by reducing coconut cream over low heat until golden brown solids form. Sprinkle latik on top of the Maja Blanca before serving.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
