Filipinos love to finish off a hearty meal with a delicious dessert. Maja Blanca is a type of pudding made from coconut milk and corn that is usually served with grated cheese on top.
The key element to making this dessert is patience, but nonetheless, a simple recipe that anyone can follow.

Pour coconut milk into a saucepan and let it simmer while stirring constantly. Make sure to put it on low heat.
Add sugar and corn and let it simmer for one minute. Dissolve cornstarch in water, then slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while the coconut milk is boiling. Keep stirring vigorously until the mixture has thickened. Remove and transfer to a mold.
Let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
