Question

the only time i can get it is when i visit my in laws over there. but i really would love to try and make it here.. the local asian markets sell Ube but i need the recipe for the pie itself. thanks

Answer 1

sorry i can only find buko pie or coconut pie.. but it is also delicious..

Ingredients:

Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 piece eggyolk
1 tsp. vinegar
1/4 cup ice water

Filling
4 cups coconut meat
1 cup coconut water
1 300 ml. can MILKMAID Sweetened Condensed Milk
2/3 cup cornstarch

Procedure:

1. Blend flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening using two knives or a pastry cutter. Combine yolk, vinegar and water; slowly add the liquid to the flour mixing until dough can be handled. Divide dough into 2 parts with one part slightly bigger than the other. Roll bigger dough to about 2 inches larger than a 16-inch pie plate. Fit dough into a pie plate, letting sides hang. Roll out remaining dough for the crust. Set aside.

2. Combine filling ingredients in a thick saucepan. Cook stirring constantly until thickened. Cool then pour into prepared crust. Cover with top crust; flute or crimp edges together to seal. Bake for 1 hr. at 425 degrees F. Cool before serving.
