Maja Jubilee is fun, colorful, and full of a fruity twist that makes the original Maja Blanca more exciting than before.
The typical Maja uses corn kernels as one of its ingredients. But this time, instead of just using corn, we’ll be adding an assortment of fruits. You’ll be surprised how the fruits complement the creamy coconut milk. This may even be the key to making your kids eat more fruits. At the same time, it is a perfect treat. Those who love sweet will surely appreciate the balance of flavors this dessert exudes. Sounds interesting, huh?
As a child, I really enjoyed Filipino sweets. They are easy to obtain since they can be bought at the market or from vendors selling them on the streets. Additionally, they are all unique in their own way. But I loved the coconut pudding most of all. I think its creaminess really pulled me in! And the corn, don’t get me started on the corn. It was perfect!
Because of how much I like this traditional pudding, I became hesitant to try the different twists to it. This one, however, really piqued my interest. Instead of just ignoring it, I went to the kitchen and prepared the necessary ingredients so I can start doing it. The result? An amazing dessert! I immediately made a whole batch and made my family try it. They loved it too, and they even asked me to make it again next time. I was surprised.
