Ingredients

For the Maja Blanca

  • 2 packs cream-style sweet corn 380 grams each
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 500 ml coconut cream
  • 1 can 392 grams condensed milk
  • 1 can 390 grams evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water room temperature

Cornstarch Mixture

  • 1 cup cornstarch 140 grams
  • 1 cup water room temperature

Toppings

  • Homemade latik
  • Grated cheddar cheese optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and 1 cup room-temperature water. Stir until completely dissolved. Set aside.
  • In a deep cooking pan, combine the cream-style sweet corn, sugar, coconut cream, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1 cup water.
  • Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Cook over high heat, stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking and burning.
  • Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low while continuing to stir.
  • Stir the prepared cornstarch mixture again since the starch settles at the bottom.
  • Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling mixture while continuously stirring.
  • Use a balloon whisk while pouring to quickly remove any lumps and create a perfectly smooth texture.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens completely and no visible liquid remains.
  • Turn off the heat immediately once fully thickened.
  • Continue stirring for another minute until the mixture becomes silky smooth.
  • Immediately transfer the hot mixture into your prepared serving tray or dish.
  • Spread evenly using a spatula if necessary.
  • Allow the Maja Blanca to cool for about one hour.
  • Top with homemade latik or grated cheddar cheese before serving.
  • Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy.
