Special Maja Blanca

Cream Cheese in Saudi Arabia come in cheaper compared here in the Philippines. This is what I often ask Mr. A to bring for whenever he comes for vacation. I would like also to share where I often use it with aside from cream cheese cake. I add it in my Maja Blanca to make it richer and special.

 Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups thick coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups sugur
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup all purpose cream
  • 1/2 cup cream of corn or corn kernel
  • yellow and red food color (optional)
Cooking Procedure:
  1. Dissolve cornstarch in water. Set aside.
  2. Boil coconut milk, sugar and cream cheese. Mix well until cream cheese is completely dissolved.
  3. Add  the cornstarch and water mixture. Be sure to stir the mixture before adding.
  4. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Turn to low heat.
  5. Immediately add all purpose cream and cream of corn or corn kernel. Mix well.
  6. Pour 1/3 of maja blanca onto a pan. Spread evenly.
  7. Add 2-3 drops of yellow food color to the remaining maja blanca, mix well.
  8. Pour 1/3 again of the yellow colored maja blanca on the same pan. Spread evenly.
  9. Add 2 drops of red color to the remaining  yellow maja blanca, mix well.
  10. Lastly, pour the orange maja blanca on the same pan. Spread evenly.
  11. Let cool until set.
