HAUPIA PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F and grease a 9 1/2-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• To make the crust, add the toasted macadamia nuts to a food processor and pulse 4 to 5 times until coarsely ground.
• Add the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt and pulse until the mixture becomes a fine meal, about 1 minute.
• Add the cold butter 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition.
• With the food processor running on low, add the buttermilk and vanilla. Continue to mix until a dough forms, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Press the mixture into the prepared pie dish, poke several times with a fork, and freeze for about 5 minutes. If using a glass pie plate, place on a baking sheet before putting in the oven. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Gather the ingredients.
• To make the filling, add the cold water and cornstarch to a medium bowl and whisk well until smooth.
• In a medium saucepot, add the coconut milk, milk, and sugar. Turn the burner to medium-high and whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once boiling, bring the heat down to medium-low, keeping the mixture at a low simmer.
• Slowly add the cornstarch mixture while whisking constantly.
• Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Separate the mixture equally between two bowls.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Add the melted chocolate to one of the bowls of coconut pudding mixture and stir well to combine.
• Transfer the chocolate pudding mixture to the cooled pie crust, spread evenly, and allow to set and cool, about 15 minutes.
• Once set and cooled, pour the remaining coconut pudding mixture on top of the chocolate coconut pudding and spread out evenly. Cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and garnish with edible flowers, if using.
