MAJA BLANCA RECIPE
What I like about cooking Maja Blanca is that it is so easy to prepare. It is simply a combination of the basic ingredients, which is the coconut milk, cornstarch and condensed milk as a sweetener added with creamy sweet corn and garnish with peanuts to make it delectable to eat. It is slowly cooked until it forms a slightly thick, creamy texture. Once done, let it cool down before placing into the refrigerator.
The Maja Blanca recipe is an all-time occasion dessert / snack recipe and best serve when chilled.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams coconut milk
- 380 grams sweet corn cream style (in can or in sachet)
- 400 grams condensed milk
- 50 grams crushed roasted or fried peanuts
- ¾ cup of cornstarch diluted in a 1 cup of water.
Note: Sugar is optional. You can add it according to your recipe sweetness preference.
Maja Blanca Cooking Procedures:
- Pour the coconut milk into the cooking pan and bring to boil.
- Add the condensed milk and sweet corn. Stir occasionally and boil. Do not cover to prevent from overflowing.
- Add the diluted cornstarch and continue to stir for 5-6 minutes or until texture will be creamy. Stirring it will prevent the mixture to stick into the cooking pan.
- Once done, immediately place in a container.
- Garnish with peanuts and let it cool down before covering with aluminum foil or any applicable lid cover.
- Refrigerate the Maja Blanca before serving.
