Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut-flavored dessert that is best described as a stiff pudding.
If the haupia is grainy, you need to keep cooking the mixture because the fat in the coconut milk has not yet melted.

Bake the pie at 350 for 30 minutes, or until the edge of the crust is golden and the potato filling is lightly browning in spots.
