The MAJA MAIS (Corn Pudding) Recipe Serves 840

Ingredients:

1 cup cream-style canned corn

1-1/2 cups coconut milk or 1% milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup cold water

1 cup lightly toasted sweetened coconut flakes topping

Method:

Grease one square or round pan with vegetable oil. Set aside. Prepare topping.

In a non-stick pan, bring to a gentle boil the coconut milk, creamed corn and sugar until well blended. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup water. Stir until smooth. 

Slowly add this cornstarch mixture into the boiling milk mixture, stirring fast until thickened (2-4 minutes) and fully cooked. Pour into the prepared pan and let cool until firmly set. 

Slice diagonally into serving pieces. Sprinkle toasted coconut topping just before eating to retain topping crunchiness.
