Ingredients

• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 250 ml Water
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 60 g Cornstarch
• 1 pinch Salt
• 30 g Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, and granulated sugar. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the coconut milk mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once the mixture simmers, gradually add the cornstarch slurry while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 6

Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are covered for easy removal later.

Step 8

Pour the coconut pudding mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Once set, remove the pudding from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Slice it into triangles or squares, as desired.

Step 11

Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut over the slices for garnish before serving. Enjoy your Coconut Pudding Triangles (Haupia) chilled!
