Ingredients :

1 c. of cornstarch
1 250 ml. brick of sweetened condensed milk
1 c. of coconut milk
1 c. of water
a pinch of salt
1 425 g. can of cream-style corn
1/2 tsp. of butter, softened

How to :

Grease the bottom and sides of a 6″ x 10″ ceramic baking dish with the softened butter.

Disperse the cornstarch in the water until completely dissolved. Add the coconut milk, salt and cream-style corn. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until thick and no longer cloudy. Remove from the heat and add the sweetened condensed milk. Return to the stove top and cook over low heat, stirring until the milk is fully incorporated into the cornstarch mixture. Pour into the buttered dish and leave to cool for about 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Easy, ‘di ba?

Tip: For an even richer maja, double the amount of coconut milk and omit the water. Warning: not for those with ultra-sensitive digestive systems.

    I’ve been looking for Filipino dessert recipes and found this one. Some of the ingredients like coconut milk is hard to find since i have to go to a Filipino store which is a little far from my place. I got it on my first try and my friends love it and are requesting again for another one. Your site is a great help. Thanks a lot!!

  22. Kaye on October 7th, 2007 9:02 am

    Ei, can you pls tell me kung mga ilang minutes ung pag stir before removing from the heat? para lang sure,, ok na ba kaht 10 minutes?

  23. Connie on October 7th, 2007 1:57 pm

    It’s not the length of time, Kaye, but the correct consistency. Only you can determine that depending on what kind of cookware you use and how hot the stove is.

  24. Len on October 13th, 2007 5:40 am

    Do you need to drain the canned corn ? Thanks.

  25. Connie on October 13th, 2007 10:32 am

    You can’t drain cream-style corn, Len. Perhaps, you’re confusing it with sweet corn kernels?

  26. Aims on October 14th, 2007 3:22 am

    Hi Ms.Connie. I followed ur cooking instructions except corn ( Instead of cream-style-corn, I bought the sweet corn kernels) and yeah ur right Ms connie it’s a little bit of confusing but guess what I made it perfectly! It’s so yummy Ms.Connie. Thank you very very much for sharing this Simple recipe and My family LOVES it. We love ur recipes & we really proud of you! you’re such a Good chef…Unending “Thank You”. because of you, I’m getting bigger and bigger…hahahahha….We love you,connie! That’s true ha!

    Hi Connie.. i tried this yesterday but i think i undercooked it.. it didn’t harden and was mushy.. but the taste was wonderful though.. have to try it next time.. i love your recipes, easy to make and sooo yummy.. thank you!

  29. Connie on January 15th, 2008 12:21 am

    shiela, th brand/quality of the cornstarch is a factor too.

  30. Shiela on January 15th, 2008 12:35 am

    aahh.. maybe.. i used the local norwegian brand, couldn’t get filipino brands here… too bad.. but anyways thanks:)

    Hi, how come there is no more printer friendly icon for the recipes. I would love to try your recipes but I only want to print just the ingredients and procedures without printing the ads, comments, etc..

    Please have it back.

    Thank you.
