Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Equipment

Whisk
8x8 inch baking dish

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and water. Whisk until well-combined and no lumps appear.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and cook over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
When the mixture thickens and starts to boil, add the corn kernels (if using). Continue to stir for another 3-5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish and smoothen the surface with a spatula.
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top (if using).
Let it cool down to room temperature before refrigerating for at least an hour or until the mixture has set.
Cut the maja blanca into serving sizes and serve.

Notes

If you want a firmer maja blanca, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of rice flour.
You can also add vanilla extract or pandan flavoring to add more flavor.
Refrigerate the maja blanca for a few hours or overnight to achieve a better texture.
