How to cook Ube Maja Blanca
Ube Maja Blanca Recipe is a popular Filipino kakanin. This coconut milk pudding has a purple color from Ube or purple yam. The name ‘Maja Blanca’ basically means ‘white delicacy’ and can be traced from Spanish milk-based desserts.
It is related to ‘manjar Blanco’ and ‘blancmange,’ which are traditional holiday desserts. The Philippine Maja Blanca incorporates toppings like coconut flakes, corn kernels, and grated cheese to get those tiny bursts of saltiness and sweetness which are truly irresistible.
This kakanin recipe could be your Maja Blanca with a twist of Ube. If you’re ready to rock your kitchen skills even though they may be non-existent. It’s easy, with a mixture of coconut milk, cornstarch and Ube powder for flavor. Cook Ube Maja over a low flame until it thickens so you can get that delightful creamy and velvety combo.
Enjoy the smell of simmering coconut milk, Ube, and vanilla extract as you cook this delicious Ube Maja Blanca. Don’t forget to sprinkle it with Cheese toppings before you take your first bite.

Ube Maja Blanca Recipe
Ingredients
1st Layer Coconut:
- ½ cup corn starch
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 can 400ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp. sweet corn kernels drained
2nd Layer Ube:
- ½ cup corn starch
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 can 400ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp. ube extract
- 3 tbsp. sweet corn kernels drained
Topping:
- ¼ cup grated cheese
Instructions
- First we need to prepare an 8×8 inch pan and lightly greased with oil and set aside.
- Coconut Layer: In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir well to dissolve the sugar and corn starch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir continuously until you reach the sticky consistency.
- Now, we’re going to make our Ube Layer: Using the same saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir well to dissolve the sugar and corn starch. Again, bring to a boil over medium heat, stir continuously until you reach the same consistency with your first batch.
- Then, fire off and pour the Ube mixture on top of your coconut mixture. Spread and flatten evenly as possible and top with grated cheese. Set aside and let it cool at room temperature, before serving.
