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.

- 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

These drinks can be deceivingly strong. They are very sweet and fruity tasting. So don't drink and drive. Serve with great food and enjoy. I recommend using cherry or apricot brandy.
Best Grilled Fish Tacos
These grilled fish tacos are loaded with flavorful marinated fish fillets cooked on a hot grill until tender and flaky. Serve fish in tortillas and top with crunchy shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and a creamy homemade chipotle and lime dressing.
