How to make Colombian Natilla [Video]

Natilla is a rich, custard-like dessert traditionally enjoyed at Christmas, especially in Colombia. Usually served alongside round cheese dough balls - Buñuelos.

Natilla is somewhat like "Arequipe" or dulce de leche, but it is thickened with corn-starch and flavoured with Panela (sugar cane). Varieties of Natilla can include cinnamon, shredded fresh coconut or raisins.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 liter of milk

• 2 cups of Maizena corn starch or Colmaiz Natilla Flour

• 4 cinnamon sticks

• 1 cup of grated Don Pedro panela

• 10 grams of butter

• Grated coconut
