Purple sweet potato haupia pie

Purple sweet potato haupia pie is a Hawaiian dish that incorporates purple sweet potatoes and haupia.[1] It is similar to the sweet potato pie that originated in the Southern United States.[1] This dish however, often uses Okinawan sweet potatoes which are purple in color.[1] It has three layers.[2] The bottom layer is a macadamia nut crust.[2] The middle layer is the Okinawan sweet potato portion.[2] The top layer is a haupia topping, which is added when the bottom two layers are cooled to prevent it from being runny.[2][3] The Okinawan sweet potatoes are distinct in flavor and texture to other types of sweet potatoes, so it cannot be substituted without affecting the final outcome.[4] The sweet potatoes need to be cooked thoroughly in order to become sweet and turn deep purple.[3] The dessert is very rich,[3] and it is made at any time of the year.[4]
