Ginataang Mais is a Filipino dessert and snack made from whole kernel corn and coconut milk. This is a simple and quick Filipino dessert recipe that only takes less than 25 minutes to prepare. The appearance of this quick and easy dessert is similar to that of the Maja Blanca but there is a big difference in texture; the consistency is more like the Goto, Arroz Caldo, or perhaps the Champorado.
I like this dessert (particularly this dessert recipe) because of the simple ingredients involved. I also believe that good dishes need not to be complicated and time consuming and this is one of the proofs.

Ginataang Mais Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup glutinous rice (malagkit)
- 1 cup whole kernel corn
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Cooking Procedure
- Combine coconut milk and glutinous rice in a cooking pot then turn on the heat. Let the coconut milk boil.
- Once the coconut milk is boiling, stir the mixture to prevent the glutinous rice from sticking. Set the heat to low and let the rice cook while stirring once in a while. This will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add the whole kernel corn and cook for 5 minutes.
- Put-in the sugar and stir thoroughly. Cook for 2 more minutes.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
- Share and enjoy!

Hi Kuya Vanjo!
I really love corn and I remember the street vendors who come by our street every afternoon yelling “Maiiiiiiisss!!!”
I can’t wait to try this recipe because my mom said when I was born, my Dad was in the middle of making Ginataang mais. So he rushed to the hospital with a bowl of ginataang mais for my mom
it was the first thing she ate after having me. That could be why i love corn so much!
I really love your recipes and videos. Keep up the good work!
(By the way, my mom loves your site too!)
ilang person pwede makakain ng recipe nio?
My dad used to make this when I lived at home, and I’ve always wanted the recipe – thanks to your website, I can make this at home for my own son
PS. My dad always added sliced jackfruit to it, which gives it added sweetness…and I’ve also added some sweetened shredded coconut as well (mainly because I ran out of coconut milk!)…Yummy!!!
mga sirs… kahit wala ng PAX jan ang gawin nyo lamang po ay lasahan ang nilutong pagkain kung kulang sa tamis dagdagan ng asukal. at asin. kung kulang sa gata ay dagdagan ng gata… simple as that. .:) so adjust nlng kung ilang servings ang gusto.. dagdag nlng ng dagdag yan..
wanting to know kung ilang servings magagawa ng recipe na pinost nyo.. para may idea lang po.. kung dalawa po ang kakain, kakasya na po ba or sobra pa? just want to cook enough for two. btw, i love your site! thanks for sharing!
tama po kau jn kuya….
My favorite!! mas masarap kung fresh white (young) corn ang gagamitin natin than using canned kernel, mejo matagal nga lang ang cooking time pero mas malasa, I prefer pa rin yun old style recipe, my Lola’s way of cooking ginataang mais… oh God… bigla kong na-miss ang Lola ko.
Ok lang ba na i-post ko rin d2 ang recipe ng Lola ko?
Pero in our generation…lalo na sa mga busy lifestyles, no time for long time cooking procedure… eh ok itong recipe na to.. available in the supermarket ang ingridients, just open the can, konting oras lang ang pagluluto, makakakain ka na ng antigong ginataang mais!!!! hehehehehe….
