HAWAIIAN HAUPIA (COCONUT PUDDING)
Silky, creamy and tasting of pure coconut, it’s a dreamy treat for those who seek coconut’s sublet flavor.
Haupia (pronounced how-pee-ah) tastes of pure coconut because it’s made with only four ingredients:
freshly grated coconut or full fat coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar and water.
It’s very easy to make. Try it, you won’t regret it!
