How To Make Haupia (Hawaiian Coconut Pudding)| Favorite Family Recipes image

Haupia is a widely popular Hawaiian dessert that is smooth, creamy, and gelatin-like in texture. It's like little refreshing bites of Hawaii!

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup water
5 Tablespoons cornstarch ((or arrowroot))
1 (13 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk ((full-fat ONLY))
1/4 cup sugar ((you can use more to taste if you like it sweet))

Steps:

  • Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved then set aside.
  • In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and sugar.
  • Whisk constantly until mixture begins to simmer.
  • While continuing to whisk, SLOWLY pour in the water/cornstarch mixture until it thickens.
  • Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk until you have a thick, pudding-like consistency (this is important, it needs to be thickened while it is heating or it won't set up).
  • Pour into a greased 8"x8" baking dish* or square containers (I actually like to use my smaller glass Tupperware containers becasue the sides are more straight, making for more consistent squares).
  • Allow to cool to room temperature (about 10-15 minutes) then cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours.
  • When ready to serve, cut into 2" squares and serve cold.
  • *Note: If serving as a custard or pudding, pour into individual serving ramekins or bowls and chill.
