Maja Blanca (Coconut Pudding)

Prep15 m
Cook10 m
Ready In2 h 25 m

Recipe By:Your Cooking Papa”This is a popular dessert among Filipinos. It can be served with different presentations. Ordinarily, when served in the Philippines, it will contain small kernels of sweet corn inside and topped with flakes of roasted coconut meat. Often it will also have shredded Cheddar cheese on top.”

Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup coconut milk
3/4 cup water

1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup fresh sweet corn kernels
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

Butter an 8-inch baking dish or pie pan, and set aside. Mix 1/2 cup of water with the cornstarch in a bowl, and stir until smooth.
Combine the coconut milk, 3/4 cup of water, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the corn kernels, and then stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring quickly to avoid lumps as it becomes very thick. Bring the mixture back to a boil, and simmer until fully thickened and smooth, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Pour the maja blanca into the prepared dish, and set aside to cool until firm, about 2 hours.
Place the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, and stir to toast. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn. Remove the toasted coconut flakes to a bowl, let cool, and sprinkle over the pudding before serving.

Mamon (Sponge Cakes)

Recipe By:lola”These sweet and soft mini cakes are usually baked in small molds and served during snack time. Use muffin tins if you don’t have the molds.”

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 egg yolks
2 tablespoons grated orange peel

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup water
8 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup white sugar

Directions

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups.
Stir the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the oil, egg yolks, grated orange peel, vanilla extract, orange juice, and water. Mix well by hand until smooth with no lumps.
Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites. Pour the resulting batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Easy and Delicious Purple Yam (Ube) Cookies

Recipe By:Marvincent Acuña (Vince)”A simple recipe for purple yam cookies. These taste awesome! They’re very soft and cake-like in texture. These are dome-shaped once they bake. You can flatten them as desired. This is a flexible recipe. You can add a teaspoon (or more) of baking soda instead of baking powder if you want a thinner cookie. I think you can top these with some white chocolate chips after baking.”

Ingredients

3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup purple yam powder, or more to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
Mix sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, purple yam powder, and flour, in this order, in a large bowl until dough is well blended. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies look firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before gently transferring to a wire rack.
