Ingredients
- 1 9-inch raw pie crust of your choice
Haupia Pie Filling
- 1 bar 70% dark chocolate (90 grams)
- 1 bar milk chocolate (90 grams)
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz / 400 ml)
- 236 ml milk
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 237 ml water
Whipped Topping
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 355 ml heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Blind Bake Your Raw Pie Crust
- Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C
- Roll out pie crust onto pie pan
- Poke holes in the dough (don't worry, the holes shouldn't cause the pie filling to leak)
- Line the dough with aluminum foil or parchment paper
- Take some uncooked rice or pie weights and fill up the pie pan
- Put the pie crust with weights in the oven for 15 minutes
- Take out the pie crust and turn the oven temperature down to 350°F/150°C
- Remove the pie weights
- Put crust back in oven and continue to bake the pie for another 10 minutes
- Set the pie aside to cool for at least an hour
Make Your Filling
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate and milk chocolate then put in a mixing bowl, set aside
- Mix water and cornstarch until no clumps are visible and set aside
- Heat coconut milk, sugar, and milk together in a saucepan until it starts to slightly bubble
- Add the cornstarch slurry as you whisk the coconut mixture to avoid clumping
- At this point, the mixture will start getting thick fast! So continue stirring until you see soft peaks forming. As soon as that happens, turn off the heat and remove it from the stove.
- Take half of the cooked haupia pie filling and immediately add it to the bowl of chocolates
- Using a whisk mix the chocolate and haupia mix together
- Carefully layer the chocolate haupia at the bottom of the crust
- Add the white haupia gently on top of the chocolate haupia filling being careful not to mix the layers
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 8 hours until the filling has set
