HAWAIIAN PASSION FRUIT CHIFFON PIE (LILIKOI CHIFFON PIE)

Steps:

• Make your pie crust if using the recipe I linked from Serious Eats or your own, or use a store bought crust. You can make the pie crust a day ahead of time and freeze it. For the pie filling: Set a pan of water over medium high heat and bring to a steady simmer. Make sure the water level is low enough that a bowl set on top wont touch it. Lower the heat slightly and keep simmering. In a small bowl add the 4 tablespoons of cold water and sprinkle the gelatin over to soften. In a bowl that will fit over the pan of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks until thickened and lighter in color, add in passion fruit pulp and juice ( or puree), zest, 1/2 cup of sugar and salt. Set over the pan of simmering water and whisk until thickened. About 8-10 minutes. Make sure to stir constantly so the egg doesn't scramble. Add in the softened gelatin and stir until melted. Remove from heat and cool until thickened and slightly congealed on top. Whip the egg whites until foamy, slowly add in the remaining sugar and then whip until stiff peaks are formed and the meringue is glossy. Fold into the passion fruit mixture and stir until fully combined. Fill the pie crust with the mixture and chill at least 4 hours up to overnight. To make the frosting: Using the same double boiler method as the pie filling, set a pan of simmering water over the stove. In a bowl that fits the pan but won't be touching the water, whisk the frosting ingredients except for the vanilla for one minute using a hand mixer. Set the bowl over the simmering water and continue to mix on high for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly then spread on the top of the chilled pie. Garnish with passion fruit pulp over the top and serve.

HAUPIA (HAWAIIAN COCONUT PUDDING)

Steps:

• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Mix till the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole can of coconut milk and sugar. Whisk together, and keep whisking until it's just about to boil.
• Slowly pour in the cornstarch/water mixture while whisking.
• Turn the heat to low, and keep cooking for 10-15 minutes. You'll want to stay at the stove at this whole time, and whisk pretty frequently. You'll know the haupia is ready when it gets much thicker (almost "gluey") and starts to pull away from the side of the saucepan when you whisk.
• Pour into a greased (or parchment paper lined) 8x8 pan. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then cool in the fridge for 1-2 hours until set. Cut into squares and enjoy chilled ^_^

LILIKOI CHIFFON CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Bake premade or homemade pie crust according to instructions. Set aside to cool completely.

AUTHENTIC HAWAIIAN HAUPIA (COCONUT PUDDING)

Steps:

• Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved then set aside.
• In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and sugar.
• Whisk constantly until mixture begins to simmer.
• While continuing to whisk, SLOWLY pour in the water/cornstarch mixture until it thickens.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk until you have a thick, pudding-like consistency (this is important, it needs to be thickened while it is heating or it won't set up).
• Pour into a greased 8"x8" baking dish* or square containers (I actually like to use my smaller glass Tupperware containers becasue the sides are more straight, making for more consistent squares).
• Allow to cool to room temperature (about 10-15 minutes) then cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours.
• When ready to serve, cut into 2" squares and serve cold.
• *Note: If serving as a custard or pudding, pour into individual serving ramekins or bowls and chill.
