Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1 large can Evaporated Milk (370 ml)
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cups whole corn kernel
- 3/4 cup creamed corn
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups coconut milk, evaporated milk, cornstarch, sugar, corn kernels and creamed corn in a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly; it should be free of lumps
- Place in a large sauce pan and cook while stirring constantly over low heat until thick, this will take around 25 minutes.
- Pour into small mould containers. Cool, then refrigerate until firm.
- In a separate sauce pan add the remaining coconut milk then boil, simmer in medium heat until it starts to become coconut oil, at this point lower the heat and continue stirring until latik forms, that’s the brown residue that forms when oil is separated from the liquid. Continue until no liquid is left apart from the oil. Separate oil and residue (latik).
- Once maja is stiff, slice in cubes then top each with latik.
Coconut in it! That’s for me for sure. I have never heard of this sweets before, but now I know about this. I’m learning a lot here… 🙂
Very interesting corn based dessert, never seen this before
this looks fantastic! I love the idea of the coconut milk with the corn. I don’t believe I have ever combined them in anything but this sounds rich and delicious!

Such a cool dessert. I like the idea of corn, which you don’t see in too many American desserts. Looks so creamy.
Ohhh yum! I love all things coconut.

One of my students once brought in a treat, that was a lot like this one, to share with the class. It was delicious, and I’m sure this is too! I love trying out new sweets! 🙂

Thanks for Sharing Raymund, been wanting to make this but could not find anything similar. Let me try with my own twist and see what happens/
I usually prefer the soft, custard-like desserts, so this one sounds very seducing! (However if I ever make it I’ll have to ask you how to pronounce it 😉 )
How exciting, a good-looking corn dessert! The corn is so sweet at this time of year, it’s a shame fewer people think to make it into desserts.
