About the dish

Haupia pie is a traditional pie originating from Hawaii. This chilled layered pie consists of a base of chocolate pudding and whipped cream topping, and in between, there is a layer of haupia (a gelatinous coconut pudding made with coconut milk, cornstarch, and sugar). The pie also contains an outer shell, a pie crust that’s baked until golden brown. Before serving, this Hawaiian staple is usually garnished with chocolate shaving over the whipped cream topping. Haupia pie can be found as a signature dish at most coffee shops and bakeries in Hawaii.
