Ingredients
For the coconut toppings:
- 2 cups of thin coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons of refined sugar
For the Maja Blanca:
- 2 cups of thin coconut milk
- 3/4 cup of cream-style corn
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup refined sugar
- 3 tablespoons of corn kernels
Instructions
- Bring the 2 cups coconut milk to a boil in medium heat by stirring constantly. Make sure the oil separates from the milk. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Skim and reserve the separated oil in a bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and then add 3 tablespoons sugar to the coconut milk (without the oil).
- Continue to stir until the milk becomes brown and crumbly. This will take another 30 minutes or so.
- Remove the coconut topping from the stove and set aside to cool.
- Next, grease using butter, an 8-inch mold or pie dish with reserved coconut oil.
- Heat the remaining 2 cups coconut milk, cream-style corn, cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar, and corn kernels in a saucepan by continuous stirring.
- When the mixture is thick enough, maybe within 7 minutes, remove it from the stove and pour it into the greased mold.
- Set aside to cool.
- Once cook, sprinkle the maja blanca with the coconut toppings.
Enjoy!
