Ingredients
- For the sweet potato layer: 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, 3/4 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- For the haupia layer: 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
