This pudding dish is a staple at Hawaiian luaus, and yes, of course we had to go to one when we were in Hawaii! It was a great time, but honestly, the only dish I ended up interested in learning to make was the coconut pudding. Everything was delicious, but I think it might be awhile before I build a rock pit in my side yard and roast a whole pig. It could happen though...
The pudding, known as haupia, is the white square on my plate (yup, I ate a LOT that night...don't judge me!). When I started looking at recipes back home, it seemed to me that most were going to turn out a lot softer. I think that maybe they added gelatin for ease in serving, but I like my pudding softer. I finally settled on a very simple recipe that you can find on the Hawaii Travel site at About.com. The taste seems identical to me, but the texture is more to my liking.
