Maja Blanca is a rich, creamy coconut pudding that's sure to be a crowd favorite. Great as a midday snack or dessert!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just like that, my three-week vacation is over. I returned to the U.S. last night, exhausted from the long flight but very much inspired and excited to get back to the swing of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recent trip to the Philippines was fruitful. Not only did I have a wonderful time with my mom, daughter, and extended family, but I was also able to work on a bunch of native cake recipes with a skilled magkakanin<\/em> in our hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This maja blanca was one of my earliest recipes on the blog, first posted in 2013. It's a more straightforward version of our classic Filipino coconut pudding, with fewer ingredients and simpler steps than the\u00a0maja blanca espesyal<\/a> and maja de ube<\/a>\u00a0I also have on the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However unpretentious, it is luscious and delicious in its own right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While my other maja recipes include evaporated milk and condensed milk, the pudding base for this simple maja blanca is a basic mixture of coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar, and corn kernels. Instead of a golden latik topping<\/a> that can be a\u00a0bit\u00a0time-consuming to cook, it's garnished with toasted coconut flakes<\/a>, which take a minute or two to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
