Passionately Delicious Haupia Tropical Pie

"I love tropical flavors (especially passion fruit and coconut) and I've been courting this particular pie for a while. Haupia has a very pleasant flavor. Haupia is very popular in Hawaii (pudding made with coconut milk or coconut cream and cornstarch) and is well used in many desserts."

I will now be interacting on recipezazz where there are cooking games and forums and where eventually I will be posting my recipes.?</p>
