Ingredients
- For the crust: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed), 1/2 cup coconut oil, solid, 1/4 tsp salt, 2-3 tbsp cold water
- 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).
- 2. Prepare the crust by combining flour, coconut oil, and salt. Gradually add water until the dough comes together. Press into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
- 3. For the sweet potato layer, blend the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Spread over the baked crust.
- 4. For the haupia layer, whisk coconut milk, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Dissolve cornstarch in a little cold water and add to the pan, whisking until thickened. Stir in vanilla.
- 5. Pour haupia over the sweet potato layer. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
