Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Grease a 20 cm (8 in) square pan and lay a sheet of parchment in it, with two sides hanging over the edge.

2. 2

   Stir the cornstarch into the water in a small bowl until completely smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan, add the sugar and set it over medium heat. Whisk until it barely starts to simmer.

4. 4

   Lower the heat and slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture, whisking all the time.

5. 5

   Keep whisking over low heat until the mixture is very thick and no longer sticks to the pan walls, 10-15 min.

6. 6

   Scrape it into the pan and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Cool for 15 min at room temperature, then chill for 2 hours, until firm.

8. 8

   Lift the haupia out by the parchment and cut it into 9 squares. Sprinkle with the coconut flakes and serve cold.
