Time 2h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
3 medium (blank)s fresh young coconuts
1 (13.5 ounce) can cream of coconut
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Chill pie crusts until ready to use.
  • Cut away the husk from the coconuts and drain the juice (refrigerate juice and drink later). Break open the coconuts and carefully remove the white pulp. Put the pulp into a food processor and pulse until the pulp is cut into very small pieces. Pour into a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake the empty pie crusts for 10 minutes, then remove, and let sit while the filling is being prepared.
  • Add coconut cream, condensed and evaporated milk, and salt to the coconut pulp and mix with a wooden spoon to avoid metal discoloring the coconut pulp. Beat eggs in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cornstarch and mix fully until lumps are gone. Pour the egg mixture into the coconut mixture.
  • Place bowl in the microwave and heat on low setting, stirring occasionally, until mixture has come to a boil and thickened, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove bowl from the microwave and stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into the 2 pie crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until coconut custard is set and the temperature in the middle of the coconut custard is 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate so they are completely chilled before serving, at least 1 hour.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my buko pie turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try again soon, though, because I'm determined to get it right.
