HAUPIA

Steps:

• Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and heat on medium heat.
• Meanwhile, mix the sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and add the water. Whisk until everything is smooth and homogenous.
• When the coconut milk starts to simmer, add the mixture from the bowl.
• On low-medium heat, continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and begins to appear slightly translucent. It should take about 10 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan.
• Allow to cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or until obtaining a semi-solid consistency.
• Cut the haupia into squares of about 2 inches (5 cm) and serve.

HAUPIA (HAWAIIAN COCONUT PUDDING)

Steps:

• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Mix till the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.

• 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 ^_^
