    could i just substitute with the coconut cream for coconut millk??? and use cornstarch as a thickening agent???

    I’ve never added cornstarch and I wouldn’t recommend it.

    connie, how many servings would this recipe yield? para kasing madami ito- 3 lang kami sa house. lately, i’ve been looking for merienda fares i used to eat as a child, am kinda reminiscing…my mom is still in the US , so wala akong taga-luto ng “old-fashioned” meriendas. siya ang expert sa mga ganyan eh. pero, gusto ko na rin matuto para may memories din ang mga anak ko sa akin, di ba?

    4-6 people, chunky. cut the ingredients in half. but then, it’s even better after chilling in the fridge so you can eat half in one sitting and reserve half for the next. :)

    Hi Ms. Connie,

    I was just wondering if I can substitute canned corn kernels and coconut powder if fresh corn and coconut cream is not available.

    If you would approve using powdered coconut, should I dissolve the powder into a cross between a paste and watery cream?

    Thank you very much.

    Quillene, I’d go with cream style corn instead of corn kernels for the guinataan.
