Buco Young Coconut Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir the coconut, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a round 3-quart baking dish. Set the baking dish into a large roasting pan. Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to fill about halfway up the side of the baking dish. Carefully move to the preheated oven.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Make the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the salt. Add the cream cheese and rub into the flour with your fingertips until there are no large chunks left. Add the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until only pea-sized pieces remain.
• Add half of the ice water and work into the flour mixture, pressing down with your palms to incorporate. Add the remaining ice water and gently knead to form a dough.
• Divide the dough in half (about 370 grams per portion) and shape into ½-inch-thick discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days (or freeze for up to 1 week).
• Make the buko filling: Drain the juice from the packages of buko, reserving ¾ cup. Add the buko to a large bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, whole milk, and reserved coconut juice, making sure there are no lumps (if any lumps do form, pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove). Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until thickened, 10-12 minutes. As the mixture thickens, you may want to switch to a wooden spoon for easier stirring.
• Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cold butter until melted and incorporated. Stir in the condensed milk until smooth.
• Pour the custard over the buko and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 1 hour. The filling will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll a portion of dough out to a 13-inch round, about ⅛ inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Transfer a dough round to a 9-inch pie tin, trimming the edges so there's about ¼ inch of dough overhanging the edges of the tin. Pour the buko filling into the crust. Brush the edges of the pie dough with the egg wash. Place the remaining dough round on top of the pie and press the edges together gently to seal. Trim the edges to ¼ inch, then pinch the edges together and crimp as desired. Use a paring knife to cut vents in the top of the pie.
• Freeze the pie for 2 hours before baking (or wrap tightly and keep in the freezer for up to 1 month).
• Arrange an oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the buko pie on a baking sheet, then brush the top with egg wash. If desired, sprinkle the remaining 2-3 tablespoons of sugar on top.
• Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 65 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the 1/4 cup water and cornstarch into a saucepan and mix with a spoon to combine.
• Stir in the coconut water and sugar and bring to a boil.
• Cook, stirring constantly, over medium to low heat until thick.
• Add the shredded buco and vanilla and cook 3 more minutes.
• Cool buco mixture slightly and put into piepan that has been lined with bottom pie crust.
• Top with upper pie crust, seal edges and flute decoratively.
• Brush with slightly beaten egg white to glaze (some will be left over- do not use more than necessary), and make a few cuts in the top crust to let steam escape.
• Bake at 375 degrees 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• To prepare the crust:.
• Combine flour and salt. Blend in oil thoroughly using a fork. Sprinkle with water. Continue "cutting" with a fork until flour mixture forms tiny lumps. Form flour mixture into a ball.
• Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll out to make 2 crusts. Cover bottom of pie pan with one crust. Cut excess.
• Prick bottom pastry all over with fork. Bake in preheated oven at 450°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown
• To prepare the filling:
• Combine all ingredients except cheese and cook over low heat. Continue stirring until thick. Pour mixture into pastry-lined pie pan.
• Top filling with the second crust. Seal ends all around with a fork.
• Bake at 400 °F until top crust turns golden brown. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
• Bake for additional 5 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a bowl; add evaporated milk, buko, sweetened condensed milk, white sugar, and salt. Mix until well blended; pour into a round 3-quart baking dish. Place baking dish in a large baking pan and fill pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
