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 co*cktail, sweetened condensed milk, a combination of coconut milk and evaporated milk to make it even more special and creamy.
