Buco pie
Buco pie is a traditional Filipino pastry made from young coconut meat, also known as “buko” in Tagalog. It is a sweet and creamy dessert often enjoyed as a snack or a dessert.
Buco pie is an age-old Filipino favorite that has its roots in the country’s rich culinary history. To make a typical Buco pie, you’ll need a crust of flour and butter and a filling of young coconut meat, condensed milk, and eggs.
“Buko Pandan” is a popular variant of the Buco pie that incorporates pandan leaves, a tropical plant often used in Southeast Asian cooking. The leaves are mixed into the filling, lending the pie a distinctive green hue and a pleasant, floral aroma.
The “Buko macapuno” is a variant that uses macapuno, a coconut kind whose meat is both sweeter and creamier than that of regular coconuts. A more luscious and velvety texture is achieved, making the Buco pie a delight to the palate.
Buco pie is a popular snack and dessert that is best enjoyed when served cold. People of all ages love this iconic delicacy, and it’s a terrific way to sample authentic Filipino cuisine.
In order to make Buco pie, young coconut meat must be grated and then combined with sweetened condensed milk and eggs. After the ingredients are combined, they are placed into a pie dough and cooked. You may can buy them in stores, but making your own gives you much more control over the ingredients and results in a far superior product.
