Haupia (Hawaiian Coconut Pudding)

I used a fresh coconut, drank the juice, put the flesh in a blender to make coconut milk. 1 coconut gave me 3 quarts of milk, 1 quart is about double the recipe

Ingredient

1/2 cup

unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat ONLY)

1/4 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved then set aside.

* Step 2

Note: If using agar agar you will want to bring the water and agar agar to a simmer in a sauce pan FIRST to cook the agar agar, and THEN add the coconut milk and sugar.

* Step 3

Keto variation: If you use the agar agar method and use monkfruit powder in lieu of the sugar this becomes a delicious keto dessert!

* Step 4

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and sugar. Whisk constantly until mixture begins to simmer.

* Step 5

While continuing to whisk, SLOWLY pour in the water/cornstarch mixture until it thickens. Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk until you have a thick, pudding-like consistency. This is important, it needs to be thickened while it is heating or it won't set up.

* Step 6

Pour into a greased 8"x8" baking dish or square containers. I actually like to use my smaller glass Tupperware containers becasue the sides are more straight, making for more consistent squares.

* Step 7

Allow to cool to room temperature, about 10-15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours.

* Step 8

When ready to serve, cut into 2" squares and serve cold. If serving as a custard or pudding, pour into individual serving ramekins or bowls and chill.
