| Maja blanca (sometimes spelled maha blanca) is a creamy, dense coconut pudding made with coconut milk, grated coconut, evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, and sugar. It's a popular Filipino dessert that's similar to Hawaii's haupia and Italy's panna cotta―all of them use milk, sugar, and a thickener to create a sweet base that's poured into a mold, chilled until set, and enjoyed cold. Maja blanca can also include kernels of sweet corn, the introduction of which is credited to the arrival of affordable canned goods. Versions of maja blanca that contain corn are known as maja blanca con maíz, maja blanca maíz, or, simply, maja maíz. Yana Gilbuena's recipe for maja blanca celebrates the union of buttery-sweet corn and creamy coconut. Here, we prefer to use fresh corn instead of canned, and roasted shucked corn cobs to concentrate their rich flavor. If fresh corn is unavailable, drained canned sweet corn is an acceptable substitute and will work in a pinch. | | | |
