For us islanders, it is called “Chocolate Haupia Pie”… and I must say–your ohana (family) will LOVE it and they will give you ‘honi honi’ s (kisses) and say ‘aloha au ia’oe’ (i love you) for the rest of the pie’s existence… Post-pie is up to you whether or not this unusual behaviour continues–but enjoy it while it lasts!!
Mahalo Nui Loa!!
1. In a sauce pan, whisk coconut milk, milk, and 1 cup sugar until all ingredients are incorporated. Bring to a boil
2. In a separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water. Reduce the milk mixture and whisk in cornstarch mixture until thickened.
3. Microwave chocolate pieces for 1 minute, or until melted.
4. Pour half of the coconut (‘haupia’) mixture into a bowl, set aside. With the remaining half of haupia mixture, mix in the melted chocolate and pour into the bottom of the pie crust.
5. Layer the remaining coconut mixture (‘haupia’) on top. Cool pie in the ‘fridge for at least 1 hour.
6. In a mixer, whip heavy cream with 1/4 cup sugar until peaks form. Layer on the chilled pie. Garnish pie with shaved chocolate.

This looks terrific and I made it tonight, which made me realize (of course after I was already in the midst of cooking) that I need some more specifics for this recipe. To start, what size pie crust? I used a 9″ and it was almost overflowing without the whipped cream. Also when it says “reduce the milk mixture” do you mean reduce it in amount by boiling it for a bit or reduce the heat on the milk mixture? An estimate on the amount of time to boil it for would help me. And the only other thing I was wondering is, do I use all the cornstarch/water mixture or should I just stop adding it once the milk mixture begins to thicken? I added it all and the mixture seemed a little gluey.
I am sorry for asking so many questions, I just found the recipe a little confusing once I got into it and I do cook quite a bit. Thanks for the recipe, I cannot wait to eat it tomorrow.
