Maja Blanca Espesyal Dessert

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup grated fresh or canned corn
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. In a pot over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is well-blended and starts to heat up.
  3. Once the coconut mixture is warm, add the cornstarch mixture slowly while stirring constantly. This will help prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Continue to cook while stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Once thickened, stir in the grated corn and vanilla extract. If you’re using cheese, you can also add it at this point for extra creaminess.
  6. Pour the Maja Blanca mixture into a lightly greased mold or dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Smooth out the surface.
  7. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  8. Once chilled, slice and serve your Maja Blanca Espesyal! You can top it with additional grated cheese or sweet corn for presentation.
