Maja Blanca is a traditional Filipino dessert made from coconut milk, cornstarch, and sugar, often topped with toasted coconut or latik (caramelized coconut curds). Known for its smooth, creamy texture and subtle sweetness, it is a staple at fiestas and special occasions. Nutritionally, Maja Blanca provides energy from its carbohydrate content, primarily from cornstarch and sugar, and contains beneficial fats from coconut milk. Coconut milk also offers some vitamins and minerals, including manganese and potassium. However, its high saturated fat content should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring heart health. To make it healthier, some recipes substitute lower-calorie sweeteners or add nutrient-rich toppings like nuts or fresh fruit. Maja Blanca is a delightful treat that offers a glimpse into Filipino cuisine, but portion control is key to enjoying it as part of a balanced diet.
