In focus
could i just substitute with the coconut cream for coconut millk??? and use cornstarch as a thickening agent???
I’ve never added cornstarch and I wouldn’t recommend it.
connie, how many servings would this recipe yield? para kasing madami ito- 3 lang kami sa house. lately, i’ve been looking for merienda fares i used to eat as a child, am kinda reminiscing…my mom is still in the US , so wala akong taga-luto ng “old-fashioned” meriendas. siya ang expert sa mga ganyan eh. pero, gusto ko na rin matuto para may memories din ang mga anak ko sa akin, di ba?
4-6 people, chunky. cut the ingredients in half. but then, it’s even better after chilling in the fridge so you can eat half in one sitting and reserve half for the next.
Hi Ms. Connie,
I was just wondering if I can substitute canned corn kernels and coconut powder if fresh corn and coconut cream is not available.
If you would approve using powdered coconut, should I dissolve the powder into a cross between a paste and watery cream?
Thank you very much.
Quillene, I’d go with cream style corn instead of corn kernels for the guinataan.
