One time, my friend told me that she made a maja blanca and she gave me the recipe and by the time, I used the recipe it did not work out for me and I am certain of it that I did not follow the instruction very well as did not come out great. She told me, she followed it and it came out great for her. Last week, I tried again to make a maja blanca and just made the small one and since I followed the instruction, it came out right and I was happy about it and I am even planning to make maja blanca again since I liked it as it is not too sweet and it is simple but good.
Filipino people influenced with different cuisine like Chinese, Indian, American and Spanish, Malaysian, Indonesia etc. As you know that during the colonial period of Spaniards, we influenced some of their food like the roasted pig or lechon baboy and other desserts that brought to us and until now we do cook what they shared to our ancestors which shows our mixed culture.
Anyway, you can see the picture below of the maja blanca that I made last week and I have decided to share here in my blog. I loved it and I put the crispy coconut flakes on top, which is tasty and smells good. You can also follow the recipe that you can read below if you would like to try and it is easy and takes only about 10 minutes something like that.
4-6 serving
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water
2 cups coconut milk (sold in Oriental food stores) 3 cups grated coconut
Instructions:
Mix cornstarch and sugar in a bowl. Add water and stir. In a saucepan, bring coconut milk to a boil and gradually stir in cornstarch mixture. Boil for 5 minutes, until the starch is cooked. Pour into a buttered cake pan and let cool. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 350 F. until brown. Sprinkle cake with toasted grated coconut and serve.
