Receta Haupia In Honor Of The 44th U.S. President
Today is Presidents' Day where we honor the legacies of great U.S. Presidents, and why not, the the 44th president, Hawaii-born Barack Obama. Haupia is a favorite dessert of the Hawaiian islands and is ever present at luaus and celebrations where food is served.
It is a very easy coconut-based recipe. Unlike most cakes and desserts, there is no baking required. Since this is a special day, I've chosen to make it a little more fancy by topping it with toasted coconut flakes and cocktail cherries. Here's to Presidents' Day!
