How to Make Maja Blanca Creamy Milk Pudding

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar.
  2. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. Slowly pour the milk-cornstarch mixture into the simmering coconut milk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
  6. Continue to stir constantly over medium-low heat until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Stir in the corn kernels (if using).
  8. Lightly grease a baking dish or container with butter (optional).
  9. Pour the pudding into the prepared dish.
  10. Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded coconut.
  11. Allow the Maja Blanca to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until set. Refrigerate for a firmer consistency.
  12. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
