Chocolate Haupia pie

Dissolve cornstarch in water. Heat 14 ounces of coconut milk, milk, sugar, extract and shredded coconut in a sauce pan to a boil. Gradually add cornstarch mixture to the pan, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Remove from stove and cool.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave. Pour half of the coconut filling into a bowl. Add the melted chocolate to the pan with the remaining filling. Let the filling cool before assembling the layered pie.

Evenly portion the chocolate coconut filling in the bottom of the 12 pie shells for the bottom layer. Spoon the coconut filling on top of the chocolate coconut filling.

Garnish each pie with whipped cream.

Enjoy, this is a luxurious Hawaiian specialty!
