Haupia Variations — Beyond the Block

Overview

For chocolate-haupia pie: a macadamia shortbread crust is filled with a layer of chocolate pudding (chocolate, sugar, cornstarch, milk) and topped with a layer of haupia (coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch). Chilled until set. Topped with whipped cream. The two-layer structure creates a visual and textural contrast: dark chocolate below, white haupia above.
