More About This Recipe

  • Not sure what “haupia” is? We can help with that. Haupia is a coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert. Traditionally, it is served at local gatherings in Hawaii and is often used as a topping for cakes and other desserts, like this chocolate pie recipe. Haupia is technically considered a pudding, but its consistency is more like a gelatin. Classic haupia calls for coconut milk to be heated and then mixed with cornstarch and sometimes sugar. Once the mixture has thickened, it is then chilled and ready to eat. Curious about other unique chocolate pies beyond the basic recipe? We have a lot of those!
