"Maja Blanca as Green Pudd'in in a Dish Kissed with Red Cerise Shall be Our Valentine's Wish!..."

Recette:

Creme de Menthe has never seen a better day from the Irish Isles when we discovered its exquisite taste kissed with red cherry or cerise in a Maja Blanca Pudding dish...

Instructions:

Take a clear glass pie plate for the dish and a large sauce pan to boil the white coconut milk or cream from the can; buy also the fresh frozen coconut meat (young) in strips and further chop them to thinner slivers and bite size pieces; also obtain the Betty Crocker(R) ready-made cherry (cerise) pie filling in pure fruit and syrup and stand to drain over a strainer or cheesecloth to set and then fine chop.

Boil the coconut milk to its endpoint, stirring occasionally to avoid splattering on the stove top, and meanwhile dissolve the cornstarch in fresh milk thoroughly and then add into the coconut mixture stirring until thickened. Before this endpoint add in the dissolve the young coconut meat, condensed milk, fresh milk with thickener, white granulated sugar. When the pudding pie filling has reached its creaminess and thickened consistency add in the remaining ingredients by folding in the cherry (cerise) bits. Finally when semi-cooled mix in the creme de menthe homogeneously to colour the pie filling light or mint green.

Take the pie plate and with a rubber scraper as guide fill evenly the plate and smoothen along the top. Finally add a topping of creme fraise whipped from the can by piping training the nozzle to the pie fill surface until thoroughly covered.

Set in the fridge of 1 hr and then take out and cut the pie into slices (6 servings per plate). Add a whole cerise or cherry top for each slice of pie to garnish.
