I walked into a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant a week ago after shopping at Target, and ordered my usual Chicken Katsu, and the best macaroni salad I’ve had outside of Hawaii. What can I say, I felt the need to escape island style 🙂

I noticed a banner hanging to one side of the cash register, introducing Haupia, So I ordered a cup or two of the dessert to go. That evening, since it was scorching hot in San Francisco, I served the dessert while watching the sun set from my bedroom window – yes, island style.

Anyway, I decided  that I had to find a recipe to make the dessert at home, and  recently found one here with pineapples to share. Just in case any of you are in the mood to escape ‘island style’

Aloha!!!
