Aloha Friyay!

We are back with TT&IE! Here to kickstart your weekend with some magical island energy. This week we are featuring a classic Hawaiian dessert dish, Chocolate Haupia Pie. Your tastebuds will surely transport you to a chocolatey coconut paradise.

You will need:

-1 can coconut milk

-1 cup milk

-1 cup whipped cream

-1/2 cup cornstarch

-1 cup water

-1/2 cup sugar

-1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

-2 tbsp sugar to taste

-1 pie/tart shell

Let's dive in.

1.) To start you'll want to combine milk, sugar, and coconut milk and bring to a boil.

2.) While your mixture is heating up, whisk together your cornstarch and water.

3.) Once your coconut mixture is boiling, bring it down to a simmer and mix in your cornstarch slurry.

4.) Keep your mixture on low heat and stir frequently until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.

5.) Melt your chocolate chips (best in a glass bowl in the microwave so the chocolate doesn't burn).

6.) Split your coconut mixture into two bowls and add the melted chocolate into one of them.

7.) Spread the chocolate coconut mixture into your pie shell, smoothing the top evenly.

8.) Add the coconut mixture on top of the chocolate mixture and repeat.

9.) Place your pie in the refrigerator and let it cool.

10.) Once cooled and ready to serve, whip your whipping cream and sugar in a bowl and top it.
