Haupia Pie Recipes

COCONUT (HAUPIA) AND CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake crust for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, coconut milk and 1 cup sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Bring coconut mixture to a boil. Reduce to simmer and slowly whisk in the cornstarch. Continue stirring mixture over low heat until thickened, about 3 minutes.
• In a glass bowl, microwave chocolate chips for 1 minute or until melted. Divide the coconut pudding evenly into two bowls. Mix chocolate into one portion. Spread on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the remaining portion of pudding on top of the chocolate and spread smooth. Refrigerate for about an hour.
• Whip cream with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Layer the cream on pie; if desired garnish with chocolate shavings.

EASY HAUPIA

Steps:

• Place the cornstarch, sugar, and salt into a saucepan; stir in 1/4 of the coconut milk to make a smooth paste. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened so that it coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish; refrigerate until cold.

HAUPIA WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Combine cornstarch, sugar, water, and coconut milk. Stir until smooth. Stir over medium heat until thickened. Lower heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Stir in fresh pineapple and pour into a flat pan. Refrigerate until set.

HAUPIA PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F and grease a 9 1/2-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• To make the crust, add the toasted macadamia nuts to a food processor and pulse 4 to 5 times until coarsely ground.
• Add the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt and pulse until the mixture becomes a fine meal, about 1 minute.
• Add the cold butter 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition.
• With the food processor running on low, add the buttermilk and vanilla. Continue to mix until a dough forms, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Press the mixture into the prepared pie dish, poke several times with a fork, and freeze for about 5 minutes. If using a glass pie plate, place on a baking sheet before putting in the oven. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Gather the ingredients.
• To make the filling, add the cold water and cornstarch to a medium bowl and whisk well until smooth.
• In a medium saucepot, add the coconut milk, milk, and sugar. Turn the burner to medium-high and whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once boiling, bring the heat down to medium-low, keeping the mixture at a low simmer.
• Slowly add the cornstarch mixture while whisking constantly.
• Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Separate the mixture equally between two bowls.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Add the melted chocolate to one of the bowls of coconut pudding mixture and stir well to combine.
• Transfer the chocolate pudding mixture to the cooled pie crust, spread evenly, and allow to set and cool, about 15 minutes.
• Once set and cooled, pour the remaining coconut pudding mixture on top of the chocolate coconut pudding and spread out evenly. Cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and garnish with edible flowers, if using.

HAUPIA AND PASSION FRUIT PIE

Steps:

• For the haupia layer: Whisk to combine the coconut milk, whole milk, cornstarch, vanilla and sugar in a medium saucepot. Place the pot over medium heat and continue whisking the mixture slowly as the liquid starts to thicken. Once you notice that the liquid is starting to thicken, adjust the heat to low and continue to whisk until the mixture is completely thickened and the texture looks smooth and shiny, about 3 minutes.
• Place the pie crust on a plate or baking sheet. Using a small heatproof rubber spatula, pour and scrape the mixture into the pie crust, spreading the mixture out as evenly as possible. Place the plate with the pie into the refrigerator and chill until set, about 30 minutes.
• For the passion fruit layer: Combine the passion fruit puree and whole milk in a medium saucepot. Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the liquid and whisk gently to combine. Let this mixture sit for 2 minutes.
• Place the pot on the stove on medium heat. Once the mixture starts to warm up, add the sour cream, sugar and gelatin and gently whisk until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Do not let this mixture boil and do not whisk too much which will produce unwanted foam and bubbles.
• Place the entire pot into an ice bath. Using a small rubber spatula, gently stir as the liquid cools. Once the mixture is at room temperature, strain it into a small bowl using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess air bubbles. Pour this over the haupia layer and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to overnight before cutting.
• For the garnish: Whisk the heavy cream in a large bowl to stiff peaks. Use a warm knife to cut the pie and serve with the whipped cream and fresh berries.
