Author Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup corn kernel
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup powdered milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. With the heat still turned off, and except for the butter, add all ingredients to a pan. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  2. Turn on the heat to medium and continue mixing until thickened.
  3. Turn off the heat and add the butter. Mix again until the butter is completely melted.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased container.
  5. Add your preferred topping (I prefer chopped roasted peanuts). Note: You can lightly press down the peanuts if you're using them.
  6. Let it set for at least 30 minutes. Then, you can enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

  • You can make Latik for the topping if that’s what you like.
  • I prefer to enjoy my Maja Mais when it’s at room temperature.
