- If you don't have arrowroot powder, you can substitute cornstarch.
- Be careful not to overcook the haupia mixture, or it will become thick and rubbery.
- When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
- If the ganache is too thick, you can add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
- To make the pie ahead of time, assemble the crust and haupia layer, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Top with the chocolate ganache just before serving.
