Easy Haupia

After making this I loved it so much I made it again with just a few simple changes. I whipped the cornstarch and coconut milk together forming a paste before adding it to the coconut milk and sugar. I also turned the heat on high and kept stirring and whisking the milk until it started to instantly thicken and bubble. I immediately poured the pudding into individual dishes and covered them. After chilling in the refrigerator for 24 hours the pudding was firm and set. We added a few fresh raspberries and it was a cool chilled dessert. Next time I will try a different brand coconut milk and see if that changes anything as suggested in a previous review. This is perfect for a taste of Hawaii or remembering a tropical vacation.

This recipe was very easy to make and so tasty! I served the Haupia on a no-bake Amaretti cookie crust with roasted coconut flakes and fresh strawberries. Delicious!

I cooked this beyond the 5 minutes because it was not getting thick enough. I cooked aprox 9 minutes. I sprinkled coconut and put it in the fridge to get hard. It never got hard. I have no clue what I did wrong, especially considering I cooked it even longer than reccomended. I'm very disapointed.

I love this recipe. It's new to me, so I don't know how "authentic" it is, but I found it addictive. I've been making it every week since I tried it. I gave only 4 stars because it needed much more coconut flavor. I feel like adding shredded coconut, but maybe using sweetened milk, as was suggested would work better. I will definitely make this again, it's a great base for a dessert, if nothing else. Thanks for the recipe!
