Haupia Liliko‘i Pie (Hawaiian Coconut and Passion Fruit Pie)
Haupia is a traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert. Technically it's considered a pudding, but the consistency is closer to jello. This one is topped with a passion fruit glaze in a pie shell. Great to share with family and friends for the holidays.
