Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash the outer skin of the Okinawan sweet potato, then boil for 30-45 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Remove from heat, peel, and mash. Set aside.
  2. CRUST layer (start working on this layer while the sweet potatoes are cooking): In medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, and nuts.
  3. Cut butter into flour mixture until texture is sandy.
  4. Press lightly into 9 x 13 baking pan.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  6. SWEET POTATO Layer: Combine evaporated milk, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
  7. Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs.
  8. Gradually mix in the mashed sweet potatoes.
  9. Add the evaporated milk mixture.
  10. Pour onto crust layer.
  11. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool.
  12. HAUPIA Layer: Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add water.
  13. Pour coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Add sugar mixture. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until thickened. Allow to cool slightly.
  14. Pour coconut milk mixture over pie filling and refrigerate until set.
  15. Cut into bars or diamonds and serve. I personally find the crust better the next day.
  16. Optional: Just before cutting, add a layer of Cool Whip.
