Buko Pie is one of the most must-try product and specialty of Laguna Province. It is a traditional Filipino pastry style, young-coconut-filled pie. It has proven to be a popular dish for Filipinos. It is almost like a coconut cream pie, only it is made with just young coconuts (buko in Tagalog) and has no cream.
The pie is made with buko meat of malakanin (soft rice consistency and texture). There are also variations of the pie, which are similar but use slightly different ingredients, such as macapuno pie (from Coconut Sport), that uses a special type of coconut which differs from ordinary coconut as it is thick and sticky.
