Haupia is a classic Hawaiian dessert made from coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, and water. It's like a cross between coconut jelly and pudding. Cut into square and eat chilled. Simple and refreshing!
Ingredients:
400ml tin full-fat coconut milk
5 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp sugar
120ml water
Method:
In a small bowl, blend together the cornflour and water, mixing until you have a smooth slurry. Set aside until needed.
Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Whisk together so the sugar dissolves and keep whisking until the mixture is just about to boil.
At this point pour in the cornflour and water slurry then reduce the leat to low and keep cooking for 10–15 minutes.
You'll want to stay at the stove at this 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) 20x20cm pan. Set aside to cool to room temperature for 15 minutes. Then transfer to your refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours or until set.
