Here’s the little dish I got from Hula Girl
On a recent mad dash to catch the food trucks, for a late lunch, I picked up a little dessert from Hula Girl food truck.
It was haupia, a Hawaiian pudding, very similar to panna cotta, made with coconut milk instead of cow milk.
It was so good, I had to try making it at home.
So I mashed up a couple of recipes, hammered open a fresh coconut and used the meat and the water, added just 1/2 cup of canned coconut milk and a small amount of agave instead of white sugar.
I didn’t have macadamia nuts, but I did toast some freshly grated coconut to sprinkle on top.
Delish!

stir until very thick

Homemade haupia slices taste great with fresh mango
