Yours is the only version I’ve seen with the haupia on the bottom, which us how I make mine… but I go super easy and use frozen pue crust, Jello cooked chocolate pudding on top of Noh mix haupia, since the Noh sets up faster than tge pudding! I’ll try yours if I ever decide that I want more ‘homemade’.
