Haupia is a traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert often found at luaus and other local gatherings in Hawai?i. Since World War II, it has become popular as a topping for white cake, especially at weddings. Although technically considered a pudding, the consistency of haupia closely approximates gelatin dessert and is usually served in blocks like gelatin. The traditional Hawaiian recipe for haupia calls for heated coconut milk to be mixed with ground Polynesian arrowroot (pia, in Hawaiian) until the mixture thickens.[1] Due to the lack of availability of arrowroot starch, some modern recipes for haupia substitute corn starch. Haupia is very similar to the European dessert blancmange. In the typical modern recipe, diluted coconut milk, sugar, and salt is mixed with arrowroot or cornstarch and heated until thickened and smooth, then poured into a rectangular pan and chilled as with gelatin. It is traditionally cut into small blocks and served on squares of ti leaf.
