I got this recipe from a Hannaford "Fresh" magazine. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds different so I thought I'd post it here.

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans light coconut milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Remove pan from heat and scrape pudding into prepared baking pan. Let cool at room temperature for 10-15 min, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.
  • If desired, toast sweetened flaked coconut in a small skillet set over med-high heat. Stir frequently and remove from heat when golden brown and fragrant, 2-5 minutes. Set aside until ready to serve dessert.
  • To serve, cut chilled haupia into 12 squares using a sharp knife. Lift individual squares onto dessert plates. If desired, top each square with diced pineaple and toasted coconut.
