One of my favorite Hawaiian desserts is coconut pudding, or as we call it in Hawaii, Haupia. It’s a simple dessert made with coconut milk and is often served at luaus, weddings, and other local gatherings. It is so popular in Hawaii that it is served at all of the local McDonalds as Haupia Pies just as they sell their traditional apple pies. I enjoy trying out all kinds of foods from across the world, do you? Try out this recipe and share with us your thoughts. Or try out other Hawaiian Treats and leave us your comments.
Haupia Recipe
4 cups coconut milk
2-1/2 cups water
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
Combine coconut milk with the water. Stir until smooth. Add the sugar and cornstarch and cook over low heat until thickened and shiny. If the haupia is grainy, you need to keep cooking the mixture because the fat in the coconut milk has not yet melted. Put into a pan and chill until firm.
Enjoy it! Aloha, SHAKATIME HAWAII
