Coconut Buttermilk Pie- the classic southern pie is even more delicious with the addition of shredded coconut and some chocolate chips. It turns a wonderful golden color in the oven.
This is a sweet pie with a little tang from the buttermilk. So, so good.

How To Serve
This pie tastes best served chilled with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and maybe a few fresh raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
Pie Crust
I love using a refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust for this recipe but you can use a frozen pie crust or a homemade pie crust. For a homemade pie crust, I loe this Flaky Pie Crust.
There is no need to pre-bake the pie crust.
Substitute For Buttermilk
Mix together 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar. Let sit 5 minutes.
