Hawaiian Coconut Pudding HAUPIA (Recipe)
Serious Mealtimes / Alexandra Penfold
In my experience coconut is one of those things you either love or hate. My only real exposure to coconut as a kid was in the context of sugary sweet treats which left me firmly in the hate-it camp. It’s dishes like haupia a traditional Hawaiian luau entree that have since made me reconsider.
Haupia pronounced how-PEE-ah is a simple dessert made primarily of coconut milk and milk. A few tablespoons of sugar and vanilla are added to enhance the natural sweetness of the coconut and then a little cornstarch is whisked in to thicken the pudding. Although haupia doesn’t take long to make it’s all about cooking it slowly and at a low temperature. To achieve the desired firm yet creamy texture it’s essential to thoroughly mix the coconut milk with the whole milk and cook the mixture over low heat until thick and smooth.
