Love it
Interesting texture and very yummy!
I substituted puréed tropical fruit for the water and cut back the cornstarch and sugar just a bit to compensate for the thickness / sweetness of the puréed fruit. It turned out delicious.
Alittle to sweet for me but my family and friends loved it. I served it with roasted pork and poi. Nice like cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving.
On its own I only give it 4 stars. I thought it was okay, good, but eh. I couldn’t eat more than a bite or two. I hated that the pineapple chucks were all spread out and when I cut it up some of the chunks fell out altogether. I used a squared 8×8 glass dish and got about 16 chunks out or so. The next time I modified it, I added a smidgen of almond extract, a couple of handfuls of sweetened shredded coconut and used crushed pineapple instead of chunks. It was SO much better this time. This time I used a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and I got a lot more pieces off, 40 or more. Plenty for my luau! I also followed the previous reviewers advice and mixed the cornstarch with half the water and added it in once the coconut milk and sugar was boiling. If you do this, you do not need to cook it the full 10 min, just once it is thickened up.
I absolutely loved this. I had never had it prior to making this recipe, but it is delicious. Especially if you are a coconut lover.
It comes out perfect everytime! Just delicious
I love haupia. I think it’s more effective to mix the cornstarch with half of the water, and add the mixture after bringing the coconut milk, sugar, and remaining water to a full boil. I chose to omit the pineapple and puree it on the side. I also added 1/3 cup of whole milk. Very tasty.
