"Yesterday I reviewed Chamorita Momma's Favourite Chocolate Haupia Pie, recipe 316301 and she thanked me and asked that I publish my lighter version of the pie. I garnished the top of my pie with raw ground cacao beans as they don't have any butter or sugar in them."

1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
¹⁄₂ cup cornstarch
1 cup water
7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (mine were grain sweetened)

Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the graham cracker crust for 10 minutes. Chill thoroughly before filling.
In a medium sauce pan heat the coconut milk.
In a bowl mix the water and cornstarch.
Bring the coconut milk to a boil, reduce to a simmer and add the cornstarch water mixture and whisk until thickened. Reserve 1/2 to mix with the melted chocolate.
In a small sauce pan melt your chocolate chips for 1 minute and then add 1/2 the coconut mixture.
Pour the chocolate coconut mixture into the cooled pie crust. Pour the other half of the coconut mixture on top.
Cover and refrigerate until totally chilled.
You can top the whole pie with whipped topping or just add a little on top of a cut piece.

Bon Appetit!

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent. In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico. I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music. My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free! We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert. I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not. Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
