Hawaiian Coco Puffs Recipe

This delightful confection is none other than the famous Hawaiian Coco Puff.
Originally popularized by Liliha Bakery, these treats have become a well-loved staple in Hawaiian dessert culture.
When you make your own Coco Puffs at home, you'll use a Choux pastry shell as the base, injecting it with a chocolate pudding filling and finishing it with a decadent Chantilly frosting.
The combination of light pastry, velvety chocolate and creamy frosting creates an unforgettable taste experience that will leave you craving more.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
    Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip together 2 packets of dream whip frosting, 2 small boxes of instant chocolate pudding and 2 3/4 cups of cold milk.
