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.
Substitute For Buttermilk
Mix together 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar. Let sit 5 minutes.
More Ways To Use Buttermilk
Buttermilk may not be an ingredient you regularly buy, but there are so many uses for a carton of buttermilk. Here are some ideas-
- Buttermilk Pancakes
- Buttermilk Parmesan Pork Chops
- 3-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits
- Buttermilk Cornbread Muffins
- Buttermilk Coleslaw
- Buttermilk Blueberry Pie
Use a pie shield halfway through the cooking time or shield the pie crust with strips of aluminum foil. This helps prevent the crust from getting too brown.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator. Will keep for 5 to 7 days.
