Pro Tips
**Chef's Tips & Troubleshooting:**
- Let the oven fully preheat before putting the dish in for consistent cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on cooking time alone.
- Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain oil or oven temperature for consistent results.
- For sticky rice desserts, rinse the rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Cooking Tips
Let the dessert cool completely before slicing or serving — many Filipino sweets set and develop their best texture as they rest. Use fresh coconut milk (gata) when available rather than canned. The natural sweetness and rich consistency make a noticeable difference.
Ingredient Substitutions
Short on time? A pressure cooker (Instant Pot) can reduce cooking time by roughly half for most braised and stewed Filipino dishes. Reduce liquid slightly since less evaporates.
Storage & Reheating
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making leftovers even more delicious. Store desserts in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Let chilled desserts come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened during storage. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.
Mayo Brownies
Rich dark cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts are blended with Lady's Choice Mayonnaise for extra moisture, then baked into fudgy, dense brownies with a crackly top and intensely chocolatey flavor in every bite.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Prepare the dry ingredients by sifting flour and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl. Add baking powder and sugar. Mix well using a wire whisk. Set aside.
- On a separate bowl, crack eggs. Beat the eggs.
- Add Lady's Choice Mayonnaise. Mix well until all the ingredients in the bowl are well blended. Add vanilla extract and gradually add-in sugar. Continue to mix until texture becomes smooth.
- Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler (watch video below for details).Stir-in the melted chocolate with the mayonnaise mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients with the mayonnaise mixture. Fold until smooth. Add chopped walnuts.
- Pour the brownie mixture into an 8x8 baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let the brownies cool down.
- Serve.
