[becky_bake]

Alright, dessert lovers, get ready to have your minds blown by this incredible Hawaiian haupia pie! If you've never heard of haupia before, it's basically a creamy coconut pudding that'll transport your taste buds straight to the islands And when you combine it with a buttery crust and a tropical twist? Well, let's just say you're in for a real treat

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar

For the haupia filling:

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

Instructions:

1. Let's start with the crust! Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, going up the sides as well. Bake for 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2. Time for the haupia filling! In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Pour the haupia filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you can wait that long) to allow it to set.
4. While the pie is chilling, make the whipped cream topping. In a bowl, beat the heavy cream and 2 tbsp of sugar until stiff peaks form.
5. Spread the whipped cream over the set haupia filling, or pipe it on in a fancy design if you're feeling extra.
6. Arrange the fresh or frozen pineapple chunks over the top of the whipped cream.
7. Refrigerate the pie until you're ready to serve, and then get ready to experience a little taste of paradise!

Trust me, once you try a slice of this famous pie, you'll be dreaming about it for weeks to come. Enjoy!
