Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, corn, and sugar. Over medium heat, bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until completely smooth. Slowly add to coconut milk, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. 
  3. Continue to cook, whisking regularly, for about 2 to 4 minutes or until mixture thickens to a smooth paste consistency.
  4. In a lightly greased 8 x 8 baking dish, transfer thickened coconut mixture. Using a spatula, smooth surface. 
  5. Allow pudding to cool for a few minutes. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours or until completely set.
  6. In an ungreased skillet over medium heat, toast shredded coconut, stirring frequently, for about 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat immediately.
  7. To serve maja blanca, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top and cut into squares.

Notes

  • If the addition of corn is desired, add ½ cup canned sweet corn kernels together with coconut milk and sugar when boiling.
