Lety’s Buko Pie 850g

Buko pie, sometimes known as coconut pie, is a traditional Filipino baked young coconut (malauhog) pie. It is considered a specialty in the city of Los Banos, Laguna located on the island of Luzon.

Lety’s Buko pie is made with young coconut meat (buko in Tagalog), and uses evaporated milk, fresh eggs and fresh kalamansi juice. 

The famous Lety’s Buko pie was originally a delicacy only available in the Philippines, but it has become easier to transport and more accessible around the world. So now you can enjoy a family favourite for special occasions right  in your home.

The buko pie is said to have originated from the province of Laguna in the Philippines. The creators of this Filipino pastry were the Pahud sisters who were locals of the Municipality of Los Banos, Laguna.  Soledad Pahud returned to her family in the Philippines after finishing her Ph.D in the U.S. While she was working abroad, she learned to make apple pies.  In the process of starting up a bakeshop business, Pahud tried to recreate the American dessert with the help of her sisters. As apples were not native to the Philippines, Pahud along with her family improvised and replaced the ingredient with “buko” or young coconuts. Using “buko” as the ingredient for the pie filling was recommended by one of the sisters as resource’s are abundant locally. 

Crust lovers, rejoice for your Buko pie hero has arrived! Lety’s Buko Pie knows the crust is integral to the delicious buko pie goodness within. Their crust is flaky, salted, and toasty, giving your slice an incredible contrast to the gummy buko filling.
