Hawaiian haupia is fresh and simple. A favorite at Hawaiian luaus and potlucks, this basic recipe is easy and quick to make. Only four ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk (about 14 oz. See note)
  • 5 Tablespoons cornstarch (or less, to taste. See note)
  • 5 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water

Directions

  1. 1

    Get an 8x8 inch pan.

  2. 2

    Place coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, combine sugar and cornstarch in a bowl, and add the water. whisk until completely combined.

  4. 4

    Pour into the 8x8 pan and allow to cool on the counter before refrigerating. Refrigerate until solid and completely cooled.

  5. 5

    If you are using the full 5 tablespoons, you should be able to pull the sides away from the pan and invert the whole thing onto a cutting board. If it seems too soft for that, just cut it while in the pan. Cut into 2 inch pieces (16 pieces total) and serve.
