OKINAWAN PURPLE SWEET POTATO HAUPIA PIE BARS
Sweet potato haupia pie is a classic Hawaiian dessert. I like to make mine with a graham cracker crust, but traditionally it would use pie or shortbread crust. This recipe is meant for an 8x8" pan, but you can easily double it for a 9x13" dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and salt
- Press crumbs firmly onto the bottom of a greased 8x8" square baking pan
- Bake in the oven while you prepare the sweet potato filling (only about 10-15 minutes, be careful not to leave it too long; don't let it burn)
- Cook your sweet potatoes to make a puree: you can do this in the microwave, in the oven, or on a grill. Just cook however you would normally make a baked or roast potato. You can do this a few days ahead of time and save the puree in the fridge.
- Take one cup of sweet potato puree and mix with the sugar, egg, heavy cream, cardamom, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Spread the filling over the graham cracker crust. It will be a thin layer.
- Bake until set - about 15-20 minutes. Then set your pie to cool in the fridge.
- While your baked sweet potato layer is cooling, make the haupia.
- Mix sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl.
- Add in some of the liquid from the coconut milk - about 1/2 cup. Mix until well combined.
- Heat up the rest of the coconut milk in a pot on the stove.
- When the coconut milk is bubbling, slowly pour in your cornstarch mixture very slowly while continuously whisking the hot coconut milk in the pot. It's important to keep stirring to avoid lumps.
- Cook the haupia, continuously whisking, until the mixture has thickened to a custard like consistency and is bubbling. Be very careful not to get burned by the steam or the popping bubbles!
- Take the haupia off the heat and whisk in the coconut extract, if using. Then, very gently spread over the purple sweet potato filling. Be careful when spreading the haupia so as not to mix the white and purple layers.
- Place the pie into the fridge to let the haupia layer set. I like to leave it uncovered in the fridge until the top has become dry to the touch, then I cover with plastic wrap.
- When the pie has fully cooled and the haupia is set, you can cut it into squares to serve.
OKINAWAN PURPLE SWEET POTATO PIE WITH HAUPIA TOPPING
The Okinawan sweet potato is a very special potato. It doesn't look like much from the outside (This site calls it the ugly ducking of potatoes), but it is one beautiful and delicious spud! This pie is a mixture of recipes from Reid at Ono Kine Grindz and my family's special shortbread recipe. I would not use any other potato for this recipe. It IS labor intensive, but the pay off is so worth it! This should be a smooth, rich, mouth-watering treat. People always ask me to make this for them. Cooking time does not include overnight refrigeration.

OKINAWAN SWEET POTATO HAUPIA DESSERT
Another favorite from Kathrine's recipebox (slightly modified). She brought this to the office one day and I could hardly restrain myself from eating more than one piece. Of course, I had to ask for the recipe. Please note that the timing does not include the cooling or refrigeration time. This will give you 12 good size pieces.

Steps:
- Wash the outer skin of the Okinawan sweet potato, then boil for 30-45 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Remove from heat, peel, and mash. Set aside.
- CRUST layer (start working on this layer while the sweet potatoes are cooking): In medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, and nuts.
- Cut butter into flour mixture until texture is sandy.
- Press lightly into 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
- SWEET POTATO Layer: Combine evaporated milk, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs.
- Gradually mix in the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Add the evaporated milk mixture.
- Pour onto crust layer.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool.
- HAUPIA Layer: Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add water.
- Pour coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Add sugar mixture. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until thickened. Allow to cool slightly.
- Pour coconut milk mixture over pie filling and refrigerate until set.
- Cut into bars or diamonds and serve. I personally find the crust better the next day.
- Optional: Just before cutting, add a layer of Cool Whip.
- Cooking Okinawan Sweet Potatoes (from cooks.com): Please note that the potato size may affect cooking times and that the purple will turn brownish when exposed to air. BAKE: Poke some holes in it with fork. Bake in 400 degree oven for 30-60 minutes until it tests soft when pierced with a fork. STEAM: Poke a few holes in washed potato. Steam 30-45 minutes until tender. MICROWAVE: Cut in half lengthwise. Put the cut side down in 1/2-1 inch of water. Microwave on high 5-7 minutes. I've also seen a suggestion to start it off with a few minutes of microwaving before wrapping in foil and baking in the oven.
OKINAWAN SWEET POTATO ICE CREAM
Okinawan sweet potatoes are a glorious purple color which makes this ice cream a lovely lavender color. You could probably sub another kind of sweet potato in a pinch, but it won't be the same.

RAINBOW SWEET POTATO SALAD
A different kind of potato salad--this one boasts Okinawan Sweet Potatoes (purple flesh), a medley of red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers, and red onions. It's tossed in a tangy honey-mustard dressing right before serving. Delicious and nutritious! If you count the time it takes to chill down the potatoes, this salad takes about 1hour and 45 minutes to prepare. Or, steam the potatoes a day ahead, and it will only take about 1/2 hour!

Steps:
- Scrub the sweet potatoes, and steam them whole, with skins on. When you can pierce it with a fork, it is done. Allow the potatoes to cool, refrigerate for an hour.
- In the meantime, Combine all the dressing ingredients and chill.
- Julienne the bell peppers, and toss together, chill.
- Julienne the red onion, set aside to chill.
- Cut the chilled potatoes into cubes. (You may remove the skin if you wish, but the skin has a lot of fiber, and adds to the color of the dish).
- In a large bowl (I use a clear glass bowl to help show-off the salad), Place a layer of cubed potato on the bottom. Top with a layer of the bell pepper medley, and red onion.
- Repeat layers, ending with the bell pepper medley and red onion.
- If you'd like, you could strain the dressing so that no pepper or garlic bits are in the salad. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
