Maja Blanca is a steamed pudding made with cornstarch and coconut cream. Sometimes, strips of langka (jackfruit) or freshly grated corn are mixed in. I thought fruit cocktail would give it an interesting twist.
Initially, I wanted to stir in the drained fruits before the maja was fully set. I decided against it because my younger daughter does not like pineapple. I figured I would just serve the fruits on the side–those who didn’t want any could just have the plain maja.
Ingredients :
3/4 c. of cornstarch
2 c. of coconut cream
1/2 c. of milk
1 can of fruit cocktail
1/4 c. of sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. of butter
Cooking procedure :
Drain the fruit cocktail, reserving the syrup. Measure 1 c. of the syrup and disperse the cornstarch in it.
Grease the bottom and sides of a 9″ x 9″ cake pan with the butter.
Pour the coconut cream and milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Stir in the sugar and salt. Set over medium heat. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until thick. Pour into the buttered cake pan, scraping the sides of the saucepan. Cool completely and cut into 3″ x 3″ squares. Serve with the drained fruit cocktail.

sarap tlga ng maja blanca…lagi ko share ito sa mga kasama ko sa work lalo pag may party…..
I find this recipe unimaginably none creative.
Maja blanca is a soft to the tongue kind of food, and the reason why your daughter hates the pineapple on this one is the fight to the taste of sourly pineapples to the sweet soft maja blanca dessert…:cry:
Oh, yeah, right miss_mozaik the troller, sweet and sour don’t go together. that’s why the classic sweet and sour sauce is just plain bad.
How brilliant you are! So brilliant you won’t catch the irony in my response.
Forum trolls make me /crai
great recipe! tried it plain with out the fruits… its melt in your mouth fantastic
Great recipe! Although mine came out a bit bland because I couldn’t find any sugar in our house (My father has diabetes). So I used a sugar substitute instead. My mistake.
Also, I did it the “traditional way” using whole corn kernels instead of fruit cocktail and water instead of the syrup.
But still, my dad was happy enough that he could eat maja after a long time. I also took pictures of what I made because I couldn’t believe that I was able to actually make one.
Thanks, thanks, Ms. Connie. Till the next recipe
