What is it made from?
Ginataang mais is a simple Filipino dessert that is easy to make. I would wait with eager anticipation when I see my mom prepare the ingredients which consist mainly of glutinous rice, corn kernels, sugar and coconut milk. She would patiently remove the corn kernels from the cobs of fresh sweet corn. Nowadays canned corn kernels can also be used which makes for easy preparation.
Make it the way you like!
The process of making this coconut rice pudding with corn is pretty straight-forward. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking and make it thick or soupy as you wish. What you can’t do is undercook the rice and corn. Make sure that the glutinous rice and corn are soft and cooked properly.
Tips for an amiable experience!
Add more water or coconut milk to avoid the pudding from drying-up while the rice or corn needs more time to cook.
Use canned corn kernels if you don’t have time to remove kernels from sweet corn cobs or fresh corn is not readily available.
Stir the mixture occasionally to avoid sticking and burning at the bottom of the pot.
Before adding the sugar make sure that the rice is fully cooked. Adding the sugar too soon will result in un-even cooking of the rice.
The secret ingredient is always LOVE
