May 8: Mouth-Watering Coconut Cream Pie Day Inspiration
National Coconut Cream Pie Day as a food holiday originated in the United States (where else?). This pie became incredibly famous in Newark where people lined up for it in the legendary Tavern Restaurant, after which the popularity of the coconut cream pie surged in the early 1900s. While the Tavern Restaurant has since passed on, the popularity of the coconut cream pie remains.
There are plenty of variations to coconut cream pies. Some prefer a purely coconut-based crust while others may opt to mix in chocolate or even cookie bits. But regardless of which crust you prefer, the coconut filling remains smooth and divine. Though coconut cream pies are eaten in some form or another in almost every country worldwide, some argue that they're the best when made in tropical countries where coconuts are freshest and readily available.
You can use fresh coconut creams or coconut cream concentrate, just follow these online food recipes from our DIshfolio food bloggers for a dessert that would surely make the whole family happy!
