It can have many different variations, like a sweet potato haupia pie, but the most popular is probably the chocolate haupia pie recipe. Chocolate haupia pies are the perfect blend of chocolate, coconut, and cream and it just might be my favorite pie of all time. Haupia , in a nutshell, is Hawaiian coconut pudding or custard.
Think of it like a cross between pudding and gelatin. Of course, the chocolate haupia cream pie was a favorite, but they have SO MANY delicious menu items it was and is so hard to choose. I am a big fan of the pineapple macadamia nut cheesecake and strawberry guava pie as well. What is YOUR favorite thing to get?
You can even leave the whipped topping off and it will still be delicious. However, if you feel the need to make it more fancy you can add a little bit of toasted coconut, crushed macadamia nuts or some dark chocolate shavings over the top of the pie dish. Less is more when it comes to this pie! Erica lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband, Jared, an attorney, and her three beautiful girls.

That conversation eventually led me here and I finally got a chance to make it. When you whisk in the cornstarch, is this on the heat or off? I added the cornstarch and it thickened immediately but not to the consistency of a thick pudding. It was more like a gravy. The mixture had reduced down considerably. I finally decided to just go with it, removed it from the heat, divided it and added the chocolate.
With the chocolate added, it got super thick instantly. They were really TOO thick, I would say. Spreading them was a challenge. We only let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours before eating it and it was heavenly!
