Best 3 Haupia Lilikoi Pie Hawaiian Coconut And Passion Fruit Pie Recipes

HAUPIA AND PASSION FRUIT PIE

Steps:

• For the haupia layer: Whisk to combine the coconut milk, whole milk, cornstarch, vanilla and sugar in a medium saucepot. Place the pot over medium heat and continue whisking the mixture slowly as the liquid starts to thicken. Once you notice that the liquid is starting to thicken, adjust the heat to low and continue to whisk until the mixture is completely thickened and the texture looks smooth and shiny, about 3 minutes.
• Place the pie crust on a plate or baking sheet. Using a small heatproof rubber spatula, pour and scrape the mixture into the pie crust, spreading the mixture out as evenly as possible. Place the plate with the pie into the refrigerator and chill until set, about 30 minutes.
• For the passion fruit layer: Combine the passion fruit puree and whole milk in a medium saucepot. Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the liquid and whisk gently to combine. Let this mixture sit for 2 minutes.
• Place the pot on the stove on medium heat. Once the mixture starts to warm up, add the sour cream, sugar and gelatin and gently whisk until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Do not let this mixture boil and do not whisk too much which will produce unwanted foam and bubbles.
• Place the entire pot into an ice bath. Using a small rubber spatula, gently stir as the liquid cools. Once the mixture is at room temperature, strain it into a small bowl using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess air bubbles. Pour this over the haupia layer and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to overnight before cutting.
• For the garnish: Whisk the heavy cream in a large bowl to stiff peaks. Use a warm knife to cut the pie and serve with the whipped cream and fresh berries.

HAWAIIAN PASSION FRUIT CHIFFON PIE (LILIKOI CHIFFON PIE)

Steps:

• Make your pie crust if using the recipe I linked from Serious Eats or your own, or use a store bought crust. You can make the pie crust a day ahead of time and freeze it. For the pie filling: Set a pan of water over medium high heat and bring to a steady simmer. Make sure the water level is low enough that a bowl set on top wont touch it. Lower the heat slightly and keep simmering. In a small bowl add the 4 tablespoons of cold water and sprinkle the gelatin over to soften. In a bowl that will fit over the pan of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks until thickened and lighter in color, add in passion fruit pulp and juice ( or puree), zest, 1/2 cup of sugar and salt. Set over the pan of simmering water and whisk until thickened. About 8-10 minutes. Make sure to stir constantly so the egg doesn't scramble. Add in the softened gelatin and stir until melted. Remove from heat and cool until thickened and slightly congealed on top. Whip the egg whites until foamy, slowly add in the remaining sugar and then whip until stiff peaks are formed and the meringue is glossy. Fold into the passion fruit mixture and stir until fully combined. Fill the pie crust with the mixture and chill at least 4 hours up to overnight. To make the frosting: Using the same double boiler method as the pie filling, set a pan of simmering water over the stove. In a bowl that fits the pan but won't be touching the water, whisk the frosting ingredients except for the vanilla for one minute using a hand mixer. Set the bowl over the simmering water and continue to mix on high for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly then spread on the top of the chilled pie. Garnish with passion fruit pulp over the top and serve.
