CHEF COMMENTS

*This is now called Haupia. Haupia = coconut milk concoction.

I've occassionally had to make a larger version of this dessert for parties.

Just double the ingredients but you'll need to make your own crust. I use the standard shortcake-type crust that you press into a 9"X13" pan. Use Cool Whip as a substitute for the heavy cream and sugar blend.
