When the days grow cold because of heavy rain and continuous typhoons, the best way to relax is to cook a pot of freshly cooked Ginataang Mais for the whole family to enjoy. No matter how stressed you and your loved ones become because of the uncontrollable happenings, at least you have a sweet treat to savor together.
With the chewy glutinous rice that has been cooked to perfection, the sweetness of the sugar that has seeped into the coconut cream sauce, and the burst of juiciness from the corn kernels–this dessert will surely become a favored delight because of how delicious each bite is.

Different from the more commonly seen desserts at restaurants and bakeries, this Ginataang Mais has to be enjoyed with the help of a spoon. Though it can be eaten with a fork because of its creaminess, you might enjoy the experience more if you are able to scoop up every drop without it slipping through the cracks.
