How to Make Haupia Hawaiian Coconut Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups coconut milk, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  2. Whisk together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning. The mixture will thicken considerably.
  5. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Let it cool slightly at room temperature.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the haupia is completely set and firm.
  8. Once set, cut the haupia into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
