Next Best Thing to Bruddah Iz

my own creation, combination of other recipes

(haupia, chocolate pudding layered dessert with nut crust)

Crust:
(see Hilo Haupia Squares crust recipe and instructions.)

Haupia Mixture:
(see Hilo Haupia Squares haupia recipe and instructions) stop before pouring in to crust.  Keep stirring occasionally to prevent setting.

Chocolate Pudding:
Mix up 1 large packet and 1 small packet of instant chocolate pudding, according to directions.  Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Whipped Cream:
Make up about 1 pint of whipped cream, sweetening the cream to taste. Or, you could use Cool Whip.


Layering:
Pour and smooth a layer of haupia, then a layer of chocolate pudding, repeat.  Top with whipped cream, and garnish with toasted coconut or nuts, if desired.

Note: Macadamia nuts can be extremely expensive or hard to come by on the mainland - pecans can be used for the crust in place of mac nuts.
