Haupia

[myrori 55]

Haupia (Ha poo e a ) is a Hawaiian dessert that I tried when I was in Maui. Recently I had been looking up how to make it and decided to try it at home with splenda instead of sugar and as it turns out, it works just fine!

It is a pudding type Desserts that sets like a firm Gelatin.< /p>

1 16 oz can of Coconut milk

1 16 oz milk

9 packets of splenda

6 tsps of cornstartch

Mix milks together in a blender, whip them.

Mix Spleda and corn starch together well ( I used my bullet)

Pour Milks into a pan on high heat and then mix in the dry ingredients.

Stir constantly until mixture thickens and then pour into a baking dish.

Cover dish and cool 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Cut into one inch squares and serve.

Not only is this a good DESSERT, It is a DESSERT that is good for you!

This sounds awesome. I can probably have this on full liquids when I start next Sunday. And my sleeved daughter loves the taste of coconut, but not the texture. I will try this next weekend. Thanks...Kathe

Sounds delish. Are you using lite coconut milk? I know the regular kind has about 500 cal. per cup and some god-awful amount of fat.

I used regular coconut milk. Now mind you this makes an 11x 13 dish of Haupia and a serving size is a one inch square. I figured that out to be about 35 calories a square.

Also it is the good kind of fat so a one inch sqaure is not going to do you in.

That's not bad. But I don't think I could stop at just one 1" piece! Maybe I'll try it with lite and see how it turns out. Sounds really good!
