You shouldn’t need help deciding whether or not you want to eat chocolate haupia cream pie. That being said, you may never have heard of the desert, let alone have any idea where to get it.
Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian dessert made from coconut milk. The texture is like a thick pudding, almost flan-like, gelatinous, but sturdy enough to hold in your hand and take bites out of. And, of course, the flavor is simply ridiculous.
Add that to a pie with rich chocolate, whip cream, and - okay, you’re convinced. Let’s find out how to obtain a slice or three of this life-altering substance during your visit to the Hawaiian Islands, whichever island you happen to be visiting.
This isn’t the kind of food that is particularly hard to convince visitors to try. The appeal is obvious - but don’t think it’s nothing more than a guilty pleasure. Haupia is a real-deal traditional Hawaiian original. It can be hard to find, if not impossible, outside the islands, and of course, the best can be experienced right at the source.
That being said, it’s also possible to make this dessert at home, provided you’re staying somewhere with a good kitchen. It only requires readily available ingredients and some basic baking skills. It’s not going to taste like Ted’s or Liliha’s, but hey - with these ingredients, it’s hard to go wrong.
