Haupia Parfait

Chill and Set the Haupia

• Immediately pour the hot haupia mixture into an 8x8 inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Let it cool on the counter for about 20-30 minutes.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the haupia to prevent a skin from forming.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to overnight, until it is completely firm and set.

Prepare Toppings and Assemble Parfaits

• While the haupia chills, prepare your fruit by dicing the pineapple and mango. If your macadamia nuts are not toasted, toast them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, then chop them.
• Once the haupia is firm, turn it out onto a cutting board and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
• In four parfait glasses or small bowls, begin layering. Start with a layer of haupia cubes at the bottom.
• Follow with a layer of the diced pineapple and mango.
• Sprinkle a layer of chopped macadamia nuts over the fruit.
• Repeat the layers of haupia, fruit, and nuts until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of fruit.
• Garnish the top of each parfait with toasted coconut flakes and a few extra macadamia nuts.
• Serve immediately for the best texture.
