Best 7 Haupia Coconut Pudding Dessert Recipes

AUTHENTIC HAWAIIAN HAUPIA (COCONUT PUDDING)

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.

HAUPIA (HAWAIIAN COCONUT PUDDING)

Steps:

• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Mix till the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole can of coconut milk and sugar. Whisk together, and keep whisking until it's just about to boil.
• Slowly pour in the cornstarch/water mixture while whisking.
• Turn the heat to low, and keep cooking for 10-15 minutes. You'll want to stay at the stove at this whole time, and whisk pretty frequently. You'll know the haupia is ready when it gets much thicker (almost "gluey") and starts to pull away from the side of the saucepan when you whisk.
• Pour into a greased (or parchment paper lined) 8x8 pan. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then cool in the fridge for 1-2 hours until set. Cut into squares and enjoy chilled ^_^
