buko pieとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Buko pie is a traditional Filipino baked young-coconut (malauhog) custard pie. It has proven to be a popular dish for Filipinos. It is almost like a coconut cream pie, only it is made with young coconuts (buko in Tagalog), has neither cream in the coconut custard filling or meringue swirls on top of the baked coconut custard. Instead, the pie utilizes sweetened condensed milk, making it denser and heartier. The pie is made with buko meat. There are also variations of the pie, which are similar but use slightly different ingredients, such as macapuno pie, that uses a special type of coconut which differs from ordinary coconut as it is thick and sticky. The pie was originally a delicacy only available in the Philippines, but blast freezing technology has allowed buko pie-makers the ability to export. Buko pie is traditionally plain, but other flavorings may be used, such as pandan, vanilla, or almond essences.
