How to make Fruity Maja Blanca with Buko

Fruity Maja Blanca Recipe is a creamy dessert ideal for the holiday season, consist of coconut milk, cornstarch, fruit cocktail, and buko. Maja Blanca is one of the most popular Filipino desserts for all occasions. The ingredients are affordable, easy-to-make, and when you cook it right, it is creamy and delicious. 

Here’s a tip if you want to have a flavorful and creamy Maja Blanca; do not use the store-bought canned coconut milk, always use freshly squeezed coconut milk.

This new version is much healthier because of the added fruits. Fruity Maja Blanca with Buko is now my all-time favorite. I have tasted a lot of Maja Blanca before, but this recipe is the best. 

Try it, and I’m sure everyone in your family will love it!

Our Fruity Maja Blanca is also made with the same ingredients as the original with coconut milk, cornstarch, buko strings and sugar but without the corn and latik toppings. In this recipe we use fruit cocktail, sweetened condensed milk, a combination of coconut milk and evaporated milk to make it even more special and creamy.
