A friend on Facebook has been showing too many tasty pictures from his Hawaii trip. One curious item I saw was called Haupia. Some sort of white jello thing and I had to look it up.
It is a Hawaiian coconut pudding commonly served at Luau. I decided to try the recipe from the Polynesian Cultural Center.
The recipe looks extremely easy, however, simple recipes are often failures in disguise. Since I've never had Haupia, I do not have an idea what it's supposed to taste like. My result tasted ok. It has a nice coconut flavor with a hint of sweetness. The texture reminds me of the Asian azuki bean desserts. The mixture thickened so suddenly that I didn't mix it well enough, I think.
