Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooked corn will be mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a queso fresco cheese are both good options.
- Don't skimp on the spices: The spices in this dish add a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to use them liberally. A good combination of spices to use includes chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Serve warm: Maja Blanca is best served warm, right out of the oven. It can also be served cold, but it's not as good.
Conclusion:
Maja Blanca is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up fresh corn, and it's always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Maja Blanca a try.
