Creamy, melt-in-mouth Haupia! A sweet, soul-satisfying treat that's vegan-friendly.
A classic Hawaiian dessert, Haupia is a creamy, refreshing coconut pudding that sets into firm, sliceable squares. Made with just four simple ingredients, this naturally vegan and gluten-free treat is the perfect light and tropical dessert for any occasion.
Serving size: 1 serving
Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish or line it with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang on the sides to act as handles. This will make it easy to lift the set Haupia out.
Make the Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until completely smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
Heat the Coconut Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is hot and steaming, but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).

Creamy, melt-in-mouth Haupia! A sweet, soul-satisfying treat that's vegan-friendly.
This hawaiian dish is perfect for snack. With 306.7 calories and 2.31g of protein per serving, it's a low-sodium, low-calorie option for your meal plan.
Thicken the Mixture: Give the cornstarch slurry a quick re-whisk to ensure it's combined. While whisking the coconut milk mixture continuously, slowly pour in the slurry. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, for another 5-7 minutes. The mixture will thicken significantly, resembling a very thick pudding that coats the back of a spoon.
Pour and Set: Immediately pour the thickened Haupia into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to quickly spread it into an even layer. Let it cool on the counter for about 30 minutes.
Chill Completely: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3 hours, or until it is completely firm and set.
Slice and Serve: Once firm, use the plastic wrap overhang to lift the Haupia out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares (a 4x4 grid). Serve chilled, garnished with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit if desired.
