I never had buko pie until my cousins and I were at my parents house in California or a family reunion. My cousins went to Goldilocks to buy the pie. We had it as soon as we got back to my parents. I found it really good so I decided to search or a recipe to duplicate the taste. I kinda cheated, I used my empanada dough to make the crust but I would use a pie dough instead.
Filling
1 Package of Frozen Buko
1 Can of Coconut Milk
1 Can of Condense Milk
Defrost the package of Buko and pour all of the contents including the water into a sauce pan. Add the whole can of Coconut Milk and Condense Milk. Boil the contents until it thickens. While waiting the mixture to thicken, roll out the pie dough into a pie pan. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake the pie or 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until it the filling becomes solid.
I made both regular size pie and mini pies. To make the mini pies, I used large muffin pans.
my fave are the buko (or ube) tarts from Rowena's in Tagaytay! you shouldn't miss buying that one.. buko tarts from Amira's are also yummy!!!
