For the CRUST:
3/4 c cold, unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 3/4 c flour
1 c macadamia nuts, well chopped
Mix the dry ingredients together, then add nuts and butter, cutting with a pastry cutter until crumbly, then press into pie pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator.
For the OKINAWAN SWEET POTATO layer:
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 c okinawan sweet potatoes (tumai kuru), peeled, boiled and mashed (about 1 big potato)
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter and sugar until smooth in medium bowl. Add eggs, then mashed potato, then the remaining ingredients. Spread into the crust but leave a half inch for the haupia on top. Bake the pie at 350F for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the potato filling is lightly browning. Let cool.
For the HAUPIA LAYER: (do not start until the potato filling is cool)
1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz.)
1/2 c water
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c cornstarch
Put the milk and water into pan. Mix sugar and cornstarch together, then add to the liquids. Turn on medium heat and stir constantly until dissoved and thickened, several minutes. Quickly pour haupia over pie evenly and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Cut and serve when cooled.
DELICIOUS!!!!! The 'muffins' tasted a lot like the other mochi that I make. It probably could have cooked a tad longer, but was still very good.
From Recipetips.com: The Okinawan sweet potato is mainly grown in Hawaii where it was first introduced in the 17th century. It is not well-known on the mainland but some are grown in California. They can be found in specialty markets on the West Coast. It is also known as Tumai Kuru or Beni Imo.
The Okinawan sweet potato is often confused with another sweet potato that has red skin and a deep purple flesh, which is grown on Molokai. The Okinawan is also often mistaken for the Filipino purple yam, ube, which actually has a closer resemblance to the sweet potato grown on Molokai that has deep purple flesh.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I doubled the recipe and made 3 pies and it was an absolute hit! But I boiled the potatoes with the skins on, put them in ice water and peeled off the skins with a spoon. I used a Nutribullet to mix the batter and it came out creamy and lump free. I baked them for about an hour in store bought short bread crust. It was SO good! Thank you for sharing, I will be making these for special occasions from now on. Oh and...my Mother passed last October. She was Okinawan and I know she would’ve loved this pie. :)
We used to sell this in Hawaii but the macadamia pie crust I made was just a bomb
"Macadamia pie crust?" I ask, a note of awe in my voice.
Can you imagine what a hit this would be to take to a party? Aside from how good I bet it tastes, it's major eye candy! Love watching you :)
I found a Filipino market by my house yesterday that I never knew existed. They had fresh homemade Empanadas and Haupia Pie. I've never had this pie, so I purchased a slice. I'm having it after dinner tonite. The Empanadas were too die for. They also had these coconut doughy things I also purchased. I found a gem of a store. Now I see your recipe, so I will be making it once I taste mine later. Yours looks amazing!!
My wife and I lived in Hawaii for over 10 years. When we first moved to Oahu we were out driving one weekend and stopped by the road side at a parked truck with a "sweet potato pie" sign. It was a haupia/sweet potato pie just like yours. So ono!!! An of course, we have never found anything like it since returning to the mainland. Curiously, I just ordered some Molokai sweet potato seed potatoes from a rare seeds catalog, then stumbled across your recipe. We can hardly wait till harvest time. I think the purple Molokai potatoes are similar to the Okinawa potatoes you used. I hope so. Thank you for the recipe!
I think so too. Good luck growing them!
Thanks for the recipe; I wanted to share with you a tip that I learned through trial & error: I found that if you bake/ roast the potatoes instead of boiling them, they will taste so much sweeter. Garans!
Thanks!
This is delicious! I find that rotating mashing and using a mixer helped the potatoes get more creamy without any lumps at all :)
I'm not sure I've ever seen those potatoes around here but all of the ingredients sure do sound great.
I'm so glad they enjoyed it!! I have a few potatoes I dug out of the ground recently and it's good to know the recipe can be doubled! Thanks much!
I served this to my cowkrs for my turn in treat tues! It was a huge hit, i doubled the recipe n make it into a 9x13 pan since a 9" pie was not going to be enough! Thanks a bunch! Luv ur channel! Keep them coming! Mahalo all the way from washington state! :)
Hope you are doing well....this is still my go-to recipe for this pie......I use ginger snaps and almonds in the crust(gluten free) for my patients that are celiac....and myself, of course. Gotta check'em, yeah?
I have made this a couple of times already to rave, no, crazy rave reviews! I have used frozen purple yams (available at Asian markets) and they work just fine using your recipe, too. My family prefers the (keebler) shortbread crusts to the graham. But the yams and haupia are what make this dish! Thanks for sharing it. It is insanely delicious! Even to people without an Asian palate.
Mark Cox the short bread crust was perfect!
My mom and I love eating these just boiled, so sweet and yummy (we're Vietnamese!)
You know, every time I watch your videos I just end up with a big smile. I love your funny little things that just cracks me up. Big Star Wars fan here, so I did laughed so hard with the "Jedi senses" comment. So cute~! Thanks for sharing!!
Purple Okinawan sweet potatoes? Now that's one that's gonna be a challenge to find. Never seen such a thing.
It looks absolutely addictive!
this one is beautiful. i will try to find such a veggie here in the rocky mountains...oy..farmers markets may be my only resource. thanks for the vid.... my mom loved anything purple or shade of same....any sweet or candied anything was a delight to her..she must be eating this one in heaven!
OH MY GOSH!!! I nearly fell through my screen & drooled all over the pie! How delish did that look! I'm going to go crazy trying to find that sweet potato in Australia! Just love the colour! Thank you so very much Beth! You're amazing!
Sweet Potato pie is my absolutely favorite pie!! The pudding on top has to make it so decadent! Woot! It looks yummy. Hugs girl!
I love watching all of your cooking demos, but the Hawaiian/Asian recipe videos are my hands down favorite every time. This sounds so unusual and looks so good. My local farmer's market always has these potatoes - now I know what to do with them :)
I accidentally deleted this video so glad it’s still playing! Thank you Jesus 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Holy Jesus! My blood insulin levels hit the roof just watching this! I can imagine dying of shock from eating a slice of this heaven!
amazing!! my mom loves to buy those sweet potatoes to just snack on (she microwaves them). I must make this!
whoooooot whoooooot, half okinawan pride. ;D

Those sweet potatoes look soo beautiful
strain the sweet potato mixture, before pouring into the pan......that'll help with the lumps
I was NOT expecting those to be purple!!
I've never seen these types of sweet potatoes. I'm going to have to check some local asian markets to see if I can't find it, this looks awesome.
that looks so cool with the purple color.
You made a PURPLE pie! Roc is going to be so jelly! I have never seen a purple yam. But I should have known if there was a purple anything you would know about it ; ) This looks really yummy I am going to have to see if I can hunt down some purple yams!
TFS.
Auwe!! Love this, got to try it. Thank you so much for show and sharing. . Just love it!! And again Mahalo nui loa!!
Thank you! thank you! thank you! I just made this last night. Came out delicious! Just discovered your channel last week, & I love it! Aloha!
The color is amazing. I love your videos.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing.
Yum! I followed this recipe using ube instead of Okinawan sweet potato (it's what I had on hand) and it looks great! We'll find out tonight if it's a hit.
Yum! ... going to try this, thanks for sharing!
This looks good... I'm making this tomorrow... thanks for sharing
Mahalo plenty, I am going to try this!
This is the first time I have ever seen this color of sweet potato. That looks so good and pretty to. :D ox
This looks amazingly delicious 😋
it looks very delicious and pretty! I like the bright purple color.
I like the purple color.
Indeed
Wow! That color is wild! How did the cupcakes taste?
the first Okinawan recipe I saw was on *****さん's channel! really cool to see another one!
The color is so pretty! I love it!
omg this looks so good!! i miss ted's pies!!!! i cant wait to make this when i get home! :)
yum,yum,yum! Wonder where on the mainland I could okinawan potatoes? A japanese market?
I made this today!! It was delicious :) thank you!!!!!
They taste the same, just the colour is different. In the UK you can only get purples ones sometimes in ethnic markets. They are common in south east asia.
Thanks! Sorry, this comment was marked as spam, so I never received it. So glad you made it and enjoyed it!
The inner color reallt is beautiful
Wowzers!!! This looks magical. Can you overnight one to me? LOL
Oh my gosh... Potatoes can be purple?!?!! My mind has been blown!!
I agree the purple yam is more high qualities and better yam then any yams out there and of course, more expensive as well.
Looks like a damN finE treat
It really was awesome i too had extra potato batter n made muffins too! Gosh i put on some pounds this past few days lol but sooo worth it! Lol :)
ohhh lordy! def have to attempt this one one day
Wow.These look beautiful. Never seen a pie like this before. I'm curious. How did the muffins taste?
Never heard about that before... Seems good :)
Something very new for me. It makes me think the purple will taste grape. Do they taste like regular sweet potatoes? I want to try to make haupia soon. My brother said he'd like to try some too. We love mac nuts! It's a very pretty "Beth pie!"
Looks fantastic
Thank you
I usually cok my sweet potatoes in the microwave they don;t get as "wet" and you don't have to peel them beforehand... they are super easy to peel when they are cooked this way.
I don't think that regular sweet potatoes would taste the same, but you can still try.
this looks soooo amazing...
Hi there! I absolutely love your videos :) I really, really want to make this pie - I live in CA & can't find the purple sweet potatoes - I can however find ube. Can I use it instead of the sweet potatoes?
Oooh I'm gonna make this
I just like it like that thank you
Thank you for your reply! I love mochi too. Maybe the sweet potato taste was too mild? But the muffins look gorgeous anyway - just like the pie. :D
Masarap!!!! Maganda naman.... Salamat Po...
ShaReal Muzik ube na may maja blanca sa ibabaw,,,
Now I want some!
I live in California and Okinawan sweet potatoes are not easily accessible. I did find an asian market that sold frozen ones - already cooked and peeled. I'm not sure if frozen vs. fresh potatoes make a difference but my batter was not runny at all like how yours is. It was thicker and the potato wasn't quite mixing in smoothly. Also the color was much lighter. I tried making this twice and watched your video over and over to see if I was missing something. I might just have to order some fresh potatoes.
aw I'm sorry yours didn't turn out. I hope you can find some fresh ones!
looks delicious!.
have you ever made the standard sweet potato pie?
in the UK the sweet potato's are orange does it matter what kind? ive never seen this kind before
so different, thanks
I never knew such a potato existed
This looks amazing :) what does the pie taste like?
So pretty!
Where do you find all these weird foods and spices?
prob not. but will this work with those taro?
Hello, my haupia started to ripple while it set. It went in the pan nice and smooth so I'm not sure what went wrong?
what can i substitute the potatoes with? i don't think they have it here in italy... will regular sweet potatoes do?
aren't these also known as taro or purple yam?
I need to know please
Do they sell the potatoes in stores where you live?
You should use a ricer to make it smooth like mashed potatoes
hey Beth,
If or when you let wildheart know if it taste like orange flesh sweet poatos please include me in the reply. I didn't want to ask the same question.
Oh, this looks so ono!
What if I cant find these Gorgeous Purple sweet potatos?! :(
The sweet potatoes in Canada are a very bright pinkish Orange
I live in New York. So where can I find the seeds to grow those potatoes. Any websites or stores I could look into?
I'm not sure where you can find them? I bought my starter at a Walmart garden center, so hopefully you can find it there?
You can find the potatoes in Asian markets. They're usually labeled as purple yams. You can start a plant with one.
+Natalie Wolfe thank you so much! I live in NY so for obvious its a little hard to find. But I l'll look in Asian markets for it😀
Indigo Armstrong OR order online????💙💚❤💛💜💙💚❤💛💜
