For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed coconut milk instead of canned. If you don't have a non-stick pot, be extra vigilant about stirring to prevent sticking and burning. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Taste the mixture while cooking and add more sugar if needed. To add a hint of vanilla, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract at the end of cooking. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or Latik for a traditional touch.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium, heavy-bottomed non-stick pot, whisk together the coconut milk, cream-style corn, rice flour, and sugar until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
30 mins
Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot to prevent sticking. (Cook time: 25-30 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens considerably and pulls away from the sides of the pot, forming a soft, pudding-like consistency. The mixture should be smooth and glossy. (Cook time: variable, depending on the heat)
04
Step
2 mins
Once the pudding has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into a lightly oiled serving platter or mold. A platter with ridges adds a traditional touch, but any shallow dish will work. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
2 hrs
Allow the Maja Blanca to cool completely at room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully. (Chill time: 2+ hours)
06
Step
5 mins
To serve, unmold the Maja Blanca (if using a mold) and slice it into squares or diamonds. For an authentic Filipino experience, serve with Latik (fried coconut milk curds) or toasted coconut flakes.
