I have a fun pie for ya today. I wanted to do a whole island flavor theme for the week and this chocolate haupia pie is the perfect way to kick it off.
The filling for this pie is made with coconut milk. Then chocolate is added to half and it ends up giving you a layered look when the pie is completed. The top then gets finished off with whipped cream.
According to Hawai’i Magazine, “Chocolate haupia pie is something of a dessert institution in the Islands. Haupia is a sweet, gelatinous Hawaiian dessert made with coconut milk. Here in Hawaii, you’ll often find little cubes of chilled haupia among the food offerings at a traditional luau or on a Hawaiian mixed-plate lunch. A chocolate haupia pie combines the popular dessert with rich chocolate and fresh-baked pie crust for an even more delectable dessert.”
