Haupia Pie
Haupia Pie is a traditional Hawaiin coconut pie. If you like coconut and creamy goodness, then you will love this pie - it is simply divine.
There has been a little bit of Haupia discussion over in my Facebook group....not the page, the group. Are you a member of both?? I know it’s confusing. But to clarify; the group has a lot more interaction, people solve each other’s queries through discussion and we do have a lot of fun over there. Haupia may or may not show up in my new book that is well underway...think Malasadas...so now you need to go look that one up!! (Unless you’re in the group, then you’d know already!!)
But I digress, so Haupia is a fantastic coconut based creamy filling for pies, donuts, an ice cream base...you name it. If you love coconut, this one is for you!
