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.

What Is Buttermilk Pie?

Buttermilk Pie is an easy pie with an egg, sugar, and butter base. It is a custard-style pie that is usually very sweet with a little tang. I love that buttermilk pies are so easy to make with simple ingredients. Try my recipe for Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie.

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.
