Here’s my GINATAANG MAIS or Filipino Coconut and Corn Pudding recipe as requested. Super easy to make and so yummy!

6 servings

Instructions

Remove corn kernels from the cobs (2 cobs) and set aside.
In a deep pot, combine naked cobs, water (2 cups), and coconut milk (⅘ cup). Cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the cobs and add glutinous rice (½ cup), corn kernels, pandan extract (4 dashes) and stir. Cover and let it cook for 10 minutes. Keep heat on low.
Stir then add sugar (½ cup), coconut cream (⅘ cup) and salt (1 pinch). Stir.
Cover and let it cook for 7-10 minutes.
Turn off heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. The longer it sits the thicker it gets.

Pandan essence is optional but highly recommended to make it fragrant. It would even be better with fresh pandan 🍃
The longer it sits, the thicker it gets. You can always add more water and sugar to adjust the texture and sweetness.
You can use canned corn with liquid too. I was just feeling extra with fresh corn on the cob.
