Directions
Pie Crust
Add crust ingredients into a blender and blend until ingredients turn into crumbles.
Add the crumbles into a pie tin, and press down to form a crust.
Place crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Pie Filling
Steam ‘uala until tender.
Soak agar-agar in equal parts water for 15 minutes.
Add coconut milk, arrow root, sugar, vanilla, soaked agar-agar, and salt to a saucepan. Make sure to add agar-agar and arrow root and whisk before turning on the heat, this will prevent clumping.
Heat on low and whisk the mixture until smooth.
Let this mixture cool briefly. Combine with the steamed ‘uala in a blender. Blend all your ingredients together.
Pour blended ingredients over your crust and let chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Coconut Haupia
Whisk water and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
Combine coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together until mixture is boiling.
Slowly pour water and cornstarch mixture into the coconut milk and sugar mixture. Whisk together.
Turn heat to low, and keep cooking for 10-15 minutes, whisking frequently. Haupia is ready when it becomes “gluey.”
Finishing
Pour haupia over the cooled pie.
Let cool for 6 hours before serving.

This is such a great find! I had this pie at an event, and it is amazing. So, I am hoping to bake some! Do you recommend Taro, Ube, or Okinawan Sweet Potato for the purple part? Also, what type of flowers do you have on top in the picture?
I am new to growing ulu as I traded some cacao pods for an ulu tree. I enjoyed perusing your site and know many of your board of directors. I was astounded by the price of your products and assumed cost of production and initial capital outlay was rolled into the price tag.
Mostly, I was wondering if the solvency of the project was well established. Does the Coop operate with a consistent annual profit? Do the farmers find it easy to grow more? Do they make a modest income from ulu cultivation? I sincerely hope so. All the ulu I have eaten has been free over the last 20 years. As I help the golf course by picking up and eating fallen fruit along the perimeter of the course. It is all given to fellow golfers for their families. I have developed a taste for it so Now I have a tree. I have no idea how I will consume all that fruit.Can ulu be freeze dried?? I wish you all well. Farming on a large scale in Hawaii is very expensive and rarely survives easily.
