HAUPIA CHEESECAKE



Haupia Cheesecake image

Haupia is a Hawaiian dessert that tastes like coconut pudding. This light and fluffy cheesecake is also good without the haupia layer--just add your favorite topping! The original recipe called for a graham cracker crust, and that works well, but the one I came up with adds an extra dimension to the taste. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
