Simple Maja Blanca

Here is another version of Simple Maja Blanca shared to us by Claire Pfendler of Rochester, New York. Her blog, clairebakescakes, features different interesting cake recipes. Thanks for sharing Claire!

How to Cook Simple Maja Blanca

The first thing that we need to do (according to Claire) is to combine the milks (coconut and evaporated) in a saucepan and then add sugar, cornstarch and corn. Whisk until there are no lumps present. Set the heat between low and medium and continue to cook until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency.

Grab a glass container or even an aluminum pan and pour the mixture in it. Spread until the mixture is evenly distributed. Add crushed peanuts or raisins on top.

• Pour hot mixture into a prepared dish and add the crushed peanuts or raisins. If you like both you can add both 🙂
