3 can(s) coconut milk, unsweetened, divided
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp vanilla extract
CAKE
1 box duncan hines chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 c canola oil
2/3 c coconut milk, unsweetened

CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM
2 c whipping cream
1/3 c coconut milk, unsweetened
1/4 c cocoa, unsweetened
2/3 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp espresso, brewed
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Make the haupia pudding first.
  • 2. Heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Mix water and cornstarch together. Slowly stir into the coconut milk, stirring constantly until it boils and thickens. Boil and stir for one minute.
  • 4. Remove from heat. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  • 5. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, using the coconut milk and water. Bake in a 9" X 13" pan. Cool.
  • 6. Once cake is cooled, "frost" with the haupia pudding and place in the fridge to set.
  • 7. Place a medium bowl and beaters in the freezer to chill. Mix the powdered sugar and the cocoa powder together in a small bowl, set aside.
  • 8. When you are ready to serve the cake, beat the whipping cream, adding the sugar mixture, until thick enough to hold it's shape. Spread over cake and serve.
  • 9. Refrigerate any leftovers
