3 In large microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on Medium (50%) about 2 minutes or until melted. Stir half (about 2 cups) of the coconut milk mixture (haupia) into the melted chocolate. Spread in baked shell. Gently spread white haupia on top of chocolate layer. Refrigerate pie 2 hours.
4 In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over pie; sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To make chocolate shavings, pull a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler or thin, sharp knife across a block of chocolate. The curls will be easier to make if the chocolate is slightly warm (let it stand in a warm place for about 15 minutes before cutting). Use a toothpick to lift the curls and arrange them on pie.

Did you know? Haupia is a traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert.

it would have been a real plus if recipe would have specified a 9" DEEP dish pie crust. i had a real mess on my hands. also i followed recipe to a "T" and it didn't thicken very well. the haupia sunk into the chocolate but it tasted pretty good, just will use the bigger pie crust next time

I'm wondering what the "traditional coconut topping" is since it isn't described in the directions, nor mentioned in the ingredients list. Please provide clarification. Thanks.

Wow! This is an incredible pie! I am going to add just a touch of chocolate to the whip cream next time to show off the layer of Haupia. My sister, who "hates" pie, got caught sneaking a piece of this one!

This was by far the best chocolate pie I have made. I used canned whipped cream as opposed to making my own. The pie didn't have that strong of a coconut flavor, just enough to set it apart from a standard chocolate pie. Definitely my favorite!
