Preparation
Step 1
Thoroughly mix the cornstarch and water then set aside. In a heavy pot heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt to almost boiling. Stirring constantly, add the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring until it thickens.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temp.
Use 1 box for white cake. Follow instructions and add 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract.
When your cake has cooled, carefully slice off the thin browned top to expose the cake’s texture. It doesn’t have to perfect, keep it simple. I do this to allow the filling to seep into the cake just a little bit. And i like to eat the yummy cake top. (similar to muffin top) Yum.
Return the cake in it’s pan.
Pour the haupia filling evenly on over the cake.
Top with shredded coconut then pop it into the refrigerator to set.
Allow to chill for 30 minutes before serving. Store in the fridge.
