Haupia Pumpkin Squares

We're bringing this fan-favorite Fall dessert recipe back because it's been a hot request this season! Our recipe for Haupia Pumpkin Squares is an easy-bake twist on your classic pumpkin pie recipe.

While we all love a good pumpkin flavor, the real star of this dessert dish is the creamy Hawaiian haupia. Haupia is a traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert with a pudding-like consistency. It's a classic staple on the Island, one that you're guaranteed to find at every Luau, and one we love to use whenever we get the chance to! 

To make our Haupia Pumpkin Squares really simple, we use the just-add-water Hawaii's Best Hawaiian Haupia Luau Pudding Square Mix! Get the full recipe below!
