Haupia Coconut Pudding Cups

Ingredients

• 2 cans Coconut Milk (full-fat)
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Water
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, whisk together the 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of cornstarch until smooth. Add the 1/4 cup of water and continue whisking until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
2. 2Place the saucepan over medium heat, approximately 300-325°F (150-163°C), and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula. Continue cooking until the mixture visibly thickens, becoming glossy and able to coat the back of a spoon without running off quickly.
3. 3Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.
4. 4Carefully pour the warm mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins, dividing it evenly.
5. 5Allow the cups to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until the haupia is firm and set, which is essential for its texture.
6. 6Serve the Haupia Coconut Pudding Cups chilled.
