Sweet potato haupia pie is a dish of Hawaiian cuisine.[1]
It is a pie made with sweet potato filling and topped with a layer of haupia (coconut pudding) and uses a macadamia nut shortbread base or short crust. Although it is called a "pie", it is usually prepared in rectangular pans as dessert bars, although a pie dish (or tart pan) can be used.[2][3][4][5][6]
