Notes: Every time my husband wants something I automatically search it online. Well yes, obviously, I love to cook for him. I'm my husband's personal chef! hehehe. One time he asked me to make a coconut cream pie. At first it was ok, and then the 2nd time I came up with my own recipe. Coconut cream pie resembles what we have in the Philippines-- the "Buko Pie." "Buko" means coconut. We use a young coconut meat for Buco pie, but with the recipe that I'm going to share it is just a little mix of American-Filipino coconut cream pie. I'm sure you will love this!
