Buko pie is a Filipino dessert made with a young coconut (buko). Because the coconut flesh has not yet hardened, it produces a very creamy custard.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh young coconut , drained with meat removed and chopped
- 2 cans evaporated milk , 12 fluid ounce
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
- 4 large eggs , beaten
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 1 pinch salt

Place chopped coconut into a large bowl; stir in evaporated milk, condensed milk, beaten eggs, sugar, and salt. Pour mixture into a round 3-quart baking dish. Place the baking dish into a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with water to about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven; bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Mango Upside-Down Cake
This mango upside-down cake recipe is stunningly simple to make and perfect for when mangoes are in season. It's also relatively healthy as far as cakes go, and not overly sweet. The cake is dense and perfect with tea or coffee. I use Alfonso mangoes, but any variety will do.
Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki
I love Japanese chicken teriyaki, but I find most recipes lack a little pizzazz. This recipe has even the most finicky of eaters in my household cleaning their plates and coming back for seconds. Serve with steamed rice.
