Maja Blanca Recipe – Creamy, Soft, and Easy Filipino Coconut Pudding

Ultra-realistic Filipino Maja Blanca served on an elegant white ceramic dessert plate, featuring creamy coconut pudding with sweet corn kernels, professional food photography, blog-ready composition

Ang Maja Blanca ay isang klasikong Filipino kakanin na gawa sa gata, gatas, at cornstarch. Kilala ito sa creamy at malambot nitong texture na may matamis na lasa at madalas nilalagyan ng mais at toasted coconut sa ibabaw.

Sa recipe na ito, matututunan mong gumawa ng homemade Maja Blanca na madaling ihanda at perpekto para sa meryenda, dessert, o espesyal na okasyon.

Mga Sangkap:

corn starch

 Paraan ng Pagluluto:
 
 1. Sa isang kaserola, pagsamahin ang lahat ng sangkap (magtabi ng kaunting mais para sa topping), pagkatapos ay pakuluan sa katamtamang apoy.
2. Haluin paminsan-minsan hanggang sa lumapot at maging malagkit ang timpla. Kapag matigas na ang consistency nito, luto na ito.



3. Sa tray na pagsasalinan, maglagay ng kunting mais, saka ibuhos ang luto na maja.

 4. Pantayin ang maja sa pinaglagyan bago irefrigerate.

 5. Kapag ihahain na ay alisin sa tray na pinaglagyan sa pamamagitan ng pagtaob nito sa pagsasalinan para makita ang mga mais sa ibabaw.

6. Hiwain sa laki na gusto mo at ihain.
 
 Cooking Tips:

1. Patuloy na haluin habang niluluto upang maiwasan ang pamumuo.
2. Hayaang lumamig nang tuluyan bago ilagay sa refrigerator.
3. Mas masarap ang Maja Blanca kapag malamig na ihahain.
4. Maaari ring lagyan ng grated cheese bilang alternatibong topping.

FAQs:

1. Maaari bang walang mais?
Oo. Maaari itong gawin kahit walang whole kernel corn.

2. Ano ang maaaring ipalit sa gata?
Mas mainam ang gata para sa authentic na lasa, ngunit maaari ring gumamit ng coconut cream.

3. Paano ito iimbak?
Ilagay sa airtight container at i-refrigerate nang hanggang 5 araw.

4. Maaari ba itong i-freeze?
Hindi ito inirerekomenda dahil maaaring magbago ang texture.

5. Bakit hindi tumitigas ang Maja Blanca?
Maaaring kulang ang cornstarch o hindi sapat ang oras ng pagluluto.
 
 Ang Maja Blanca ay isang creamy at masarap na Filipino kakanin na madaling gawin sa bahay. Sa simpleng sangkap at tamang paraan ng pagluluto, makakagawa ka ng dessert na siguradong magugustuhan ng buong pamilya.

    Hi Ma'am Mely,

    I love reading your food recipes. I tried this maja recipe of yours because before my maja would always come out too soft. Good thing it turned out the way i wanted it to be. Now I am selling this at work.
