Haupia Pie

Part of the "perks" of my new job is supporting 17 other hospitals on their go-live. My first assignment was to support CPOE-Computerized Provider Order Entry in Hawaii! I've never been to Hawaii. I was thrilled about this assignment (3 months after I was hired).

When we were in Hawaii, an ED nurse at the hospital we were supporting told me to go to Ted's bakery and try their Haupia Pie - coconut with chocolate pie. On my day off the happy family headed to the North Shore in Oahu to try the famous pie. It was really yummy!!!

When we back home (Northern Cali), the girls at work were talking about our trip until we reached the topic on food-Haupia pie... Yum!

Heather found the recipe online and so I made the pie. It was yummy. I hate to brag but I think my home made Haupia is better.







For added texture on the pie, I made toasted coconut and roasted macadamia nuts.





And to celebrate Christmas, I made the Christmas tree chocolate topper.
