Instructions
- Brush bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 baking dish with coconut oil or melted butter. Set aside
- In a large pot, combine coconut milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and sugar.
- Bring to a gentle boil, stirring regularly, until sugar is dissolved.
- Add 2 cups of the fruit cocktail and stir to distribute. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch. Stir well until cornstarch is dissolved.
- Gently add cornstarch mixture into milk mixture, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, whisking continuously, until mixture thickens to a thick paste.
- Transfer mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing top with a lightly oiled spatula or knife.
- While still warm garnish top with the remaining ½ cup fruit cocktail.
- Allow to slightly cool, cover and refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours or until completely cooled and set.
- Sprinkle top with shredded cheese and cut into serving pieces.
Notes
- I like to use for this recipe Del Monte Fiesta Fruit Cocktail which has pineapple, red and yellow papaya, nata de coco, and cherries.
- I recommend Eden cheese or any processed cheese food which has a mild, creamy taste.
- Drain the fruits well as the extra heavy syrup might affect the consistency of the pudding and make the dessert overly sweet.
- Cook at a simmer and do not allow the milk mixture to come to a rapid boil lest it curdles or separates.
- When preparing the cornstarch slurry, add the water slowly to the cornstarch to make it easier to stir and dissolve.
- Garnish the surface of the maja with more fruits while still warm as they won't stick if it's already cold and set.
- Allow the maja to cool before covering as the steam might drip down on the pudding and cause water puddles.
