A Short History of Coconut Pie

What is coconut pie and where does it come from? This question is not as straightforward as it seems because coconut pie can refer to a number of related but different desserts. There is coconut cream pie, coconut custard pie, and something known as French coconut pie. Read on for a rundown of all three pies and where they come from.

Coconut Cream Pie – Coconut cream pie is perhaps the most well-known of the coconut pies. It has two layers, a rich pudding or custard layer and a fluffy whipped cream layer. The pudding layer is cooked on the stovetop and poured into the pie shell to chill before it is topped with cream. Coconut cream pie was invented in the early 1900s when dried coconut was first imported to Europe and the US.

Coconut Custard Pie – Coconut custard pie was invented around the same time as coconut cream pie but instead of the custard being cooked on the stove, it’s baked in the pie shell. This pie is usually served without a topping.

French Coconut Pie – This pie is a hybrid between a pie and a coconut macaroon. It was actually invented in the Southern US and gets its name from French Guiana, which was the main exporter of coconuts at the time.
