HAWAIIAN: Haupia (coconut pudding)

gohawaii.com


Recipe Introduction


This coconut pudding is a staple desert at every Hawaiian luau.


List of Ingredients




2 cups coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch


Recipe



Pour one cup of coconut milk into a saucepan. Combine sugar and cornstarch stirring into coconut milk. Heat over low stirring consistently until thickened. Add remainder of coconut milk and whole milk and continue to heat until thickened. Pour into 8 inch square pan and chill until firm.

NOTE:
For a more authentic haupia, using fresh coconut try this recipe:

3-5 cups fresh coconut, grated, enough to yield 3 cups of coconut milk
2 cups boiling water
5 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt

Pour boiling water over grated coconut and let stand 15 minutes. Strain through pot strainer cloth or cheesecloth of at least double thickness, twisting cloth and squeeze out as much milk as possible. If this does not yield 3 cups milk, pour more boiling water over the coconut and squeeze through cloth again until you get the 3 cups. Mix cornstarch, sugar, salt and coconut milk and boil. Stir constantly until thickened and free of lumps, using egg whisk. Pour into shallow pan and let cool. Refrigerate to set.
