A few of the kids coming to my birthday party have to eat a gluten and milk-free (casein free) diet.
Since I am serving pie and ice cream, I was trying to come up with something that they could eat.
I really LOVE haupia…which is a delish Hawaiian coconut pudding that has no milk in it. I knew I had tasted haupia ice cream in Hawaii, so I looked for a recipe.
I adapted a recipe I found online, to really punch up the flavor, and it is absolutely DELISH!
