Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup water
½ cup cornstarch
1 cup coconut milk
¾ cup water
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup fresh sweet corn kernels
¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Butter an 8-inch baking dish or pie pan, and set aside. Mix 1/2 cup of water with the cornstarch in a bowl, and stir until smooth.
  • Combine the coconut milk, 3/4 cup of water, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the corn kernels, and then stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring quickly to avoid lumps as it becomes very thick. Bring the mixture back to a boil, and simmer until fully thickened and smooth, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Pour the maja blanca into the prepared dish, and set aside to cool until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Place the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, and stir to toast. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. Remove the toasted coconut flakes to a bowl, let cool, and sprinkle over the pudding before serving.

MAJA BLANCA (FILIPINO WHITE PUDDING)



Maja Blanca (Filipino White Pudding) image

I tried this coconut-flavored treat when I needed something to take to a pot luck for my Filipino-American Experience class. It comes from Phillipine Recipes Made Easy (which seems to have a lot of authentic Filipino dishes). It seems to be just like the Hawaiian Haupia to me, except some Haupias have fruit mixed in. To dilute coconut milk, use 1/2-3/4 cup water to every 1 cup of milk. Make sure you use coconut MILK and NOT coconut CREAM or JUICE. Also, be sure to vigorously shake the can of milk before opening it or you will end up with separated layers that won't blend as well when heated.

MAJA BLANCA (FILIPINO WHITE PUDDING) RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Maja Blanca (Filipino White Pudding) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-6136

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups white sugar (1/2 kilograms)
1 tall can evaporated milk
3/4 cup cornstarch (200 grams)
coconut milk extracted from one really large coconut about 7 cans using the milk can as measuring unit (I used 4 packs of the handy coconut milk powder dissolved in 7 cans of water)
1 can Del Monte cream-style sweet corn.

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan or mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and evaporated milk. Add in sugar and cornstarch and stir until fully dissolved and incorporated. In a large pan or heavy casserole over medium-low heat, cook the coconut milk mixture with regular stirring. Continue cooking until the mixture starts to thicken and a gravy-consistency is attained. Remove the pan from heat and slowly fold in the cream-style sweet corn into the mixture. Stir to evenly combine. Return the pan to the burner and resume cooking with continuous stirring. In the meantime, prepare and lightly oil moulds to hold the "maja blanca" which in my case are two cake pans. Continue the slow cooking until the mixture becomes quite sticky. Taste to ensure that the cornstarch and coconut milk are properly cooked through. While still hot, carefully pour the thick mixture into the cake pans. Level it off and let stand to cool down. It will solidify as it cools. When no longer hot, transfer inside the fridge to further chill and develop a firmer texture. When serving, transfer it upside down on a wide platter, slice to your desired shapes and serve to your families and friends. If you like, you can carry out an extra step and prepare topping such as toasted grated coconut ("budbod") or even "latik" if you have time. Our group can wait no longer so we'll pass on that for the moment. :-)
