Tumaikuru = Okinawan sweet potato. Often recognized by it's purple color. The outside of the potato is off-white but the inside is a deep purple. 2 plump, medium sized potatoes = 2c mashed
Haupia = coconut milk concoction.
I often will substitute the 12oz frozen for 13.5 oz can of coconut milk found on the grocer's shelves. Just increase the sugar and cornstarch to 7T each when using this substitute.
Crust option is to use my own shortbread crust recipe found under Kathy's All Purpose Dessert Crust. It's easier.
