haupia

This simple haupia recipe combines rich coconut milk with sugar and cornstarch to create a creamy Hawaiian dessert with plenty of sweet tropical flavor.

Haupia (Hawaiian Coconut Pudding)

cornstarch

water

(13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk

sugar

vanilla extract

toppings: toasted coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or pineapple tidbits

Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.

Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk constantly until it just starts to simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to whisk until the pudding is thick, about 10-15 minutes. It’s ready when the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Pour the thickened haupia into the lined pan. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top. If desired, top with toasted coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or pineapple tidbits (drained and patted dry).

Let the haupia cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours until completely set.

Once it’s set, cut the haupia into 2-inch squares. Serve chilled, and enjoy!

Haupia is a widely popular Hawaiian dessert that is smooth, creamy, and gelatin-like in texture. It&#039;s like little refreshing bites of Hawaii!

coconut milk ((full-fat ONLY))

Combine

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved then set aside.

Heat

In a medium-sized saucepan 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&#39;t set up.

Pour

Pour into a greased 8&quot;x8&quot; 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.

Cool

Allow to cool to room temperature, about 10-15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours.

When ready to serve, cut into 2&quot; squares and serve cold. If serving as a custard or pudding, pour into individual serving ramekins or bowls and chill.

I increased the sugar to 1/3 cup. Then it taste better. Your preference of course.

Just made this recipe tonight and it’s very good and very refreshing but I do think next time I make it I may add a little more sugar

Just made a haupia pumpkin pie.  After the pie has cooled a little, the haupia goes on top over the whole pie.  It is very good!

I made this for a luau themed kids play group, and it was such a a popular snack! Super easy to make and free from most common allergens. I have also made it by putting it into candy molds so it sets in fun shapes.
