I admit that I don't know what Haupia should taste like.<br/>I made the recipe as written with the exception of adding a bout 1/4 cup of flaked coonut to it.<br/><br/>I did not think the coconut flavor came out as strong as I would of liked it to.<br/><br/>My granddaughter said that some chocolate or graham crackers would have helped. It got me to thinking.<br/><br/>I can't wait to try this as a filling in a coconut pie. Add more coconut to it, put it in a graham cracker pie shell and swirl chocolate over the top.

Taste just like what I had while in Hawaii! I grew a bit impatient with the thickening process and added 1 more tablespoon of cornstarch. It turned out perfectly. Thanks Marisk - sorry this has taken me so long to review.

Great pudding... I was searching for a way to use leftover coconut milk and came across this. So I used 2/3 cup of coconut milk, 1/3 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons granulated splenda, 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch. I did add a little cocoa to it... about 2 teaspoons. This made just enough pudding for two individual servings. So we both enjoyed it. Ohhhh, I also sprinkled a little toasted coconut on it.
