Dairy-Free Haupia Parfait
A layered parfait featuring coconut milk-based haupia (Hawaiian coconut pudding), toasted coconut flakes, and fresh tropical fruit. A light and refreshing dairy-free dessert or lunch treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cans Coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Toasted coconut flakes
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 cup Fresh mango, diced
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium (2-3 quart) saucepan, combine the 2 cans of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps.
- 2Cook the mixture over medium heat (approximately 148.9-162.8°C or 150-163°C) for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk or heat-resistant spatula. Continue cooking until the mixture visibly thickens, becoming glossy and able to cling to the back of a spoon without running off immediately.
- 3Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract until it is fully combined.
- 4Allow the haupia mixture to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. This cooling period helps it set further before layering.
- 5Prepare four individual parfait glasses or small dessert bowls. Evenly layer the slightly cooled haupia mixture with the 1/2 cup of toasted coconut flakes, 1 cup of diced fresh pineapple, and 1 cup of diced fresh mango, creating alternating layers in each glass.
- 6Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. Chilling allows the haupia to fully set and enhances the refreshing quality of the dessert.
