haupia recipe
Any good list of Luau Recipes isn't complete without this creamy, sweet coconut dessert...
Appearing at almost every luau in Hawaii, is Haupia, a traditional coconut milk-based dessert that's a perfect end to a summer meal.
Haupia is often served in small squares and has the texture of jello, but this particular recipe will yield a more creamy, less firm pudding-type dessert.
For your vegan friends, just use all coconut milk in place of the whole milk. Yummy!
Serve in individual ramekins topped with a frangipani for a touch of the exotic.
