Coconut oils accelerate the metabolism. Of course, if you put them in pie you may not notice the effect.
The sailors aboard Vasco de Gama’s ships gave the coconut its name. hey called it “Coco”, named after a grimacing face or hobgoblin.
The water from the coconut has traditionally been used when commercial IV solutions of plasma have not been available.
Coconut oils also contain four growth hormones, called cytokinins, and three sets of
chromosomes – or triploids – that help the development of many organisms.
Cream pie is a type of pie, made of crust and filled with a rich custard or pudding. The pudding can have different flavors, and one of them is coconut. Cream pie is always great, and you can choose what kind of dessert you want. For example, you may leave the crust, if you don't want it, and enjoy only the filling.
There are different recipes for pie crust you can use. You can make the crust with a coconut, that will make an extra hit of coconut flavor. If you want something special, then use chocolate cookie crumb pie shell, that goes well with coconut filling.
Some extra ideas will be useful to make coconut filling more flavorful. Add some crushed pineapple for a pineapple coconut cream or diced ripe bananas for a banana coconut cream. The both variants are great, as well as simple coconut cream. And as far as coconut cream pie is good for every day, not only for today, you can make this dessert any time you wish
Origin
The origin of this pie is a bit difficult to track down but according to Vegetarian's Paradise , the coconut cream pie may have come into existence around the early 1900’s.
Since sugar was becoming plentiful on the continent, the candy and pastry business blossomed. All sorts of fruits and nuts were incorporated into confections, making coconut meat a desirable product. Soon tea and spice traders were shipping whole coconuts to London, an operation that proved impractical and expensive. A French company, J.H. Vavasseur and Company, set up operations in Ceylon with a unique solution for shipping coconuts to Europe. They shredded the coconut meat and dried it thoroughly, making it easier to pack without spoilage. By the early 1890’s they were shipping six thousand tons of desiccated coconut, a figure that multiplied by ten in 1900.While Europeans were going nuts over coconuts, interest in the United States hardly produced a nod until 1895 when Franklin Baker, a Philadelphia flour miller, received a shipload of coconuts in payment of a debt from a Cuban businessman. After a few unsuccessful attempts to sell the enormous cargo before the nuts spoiled, he made a decision that put coconuts into the hands of home cooks, commercial confectioners, and pastry chefs alike. He set up a factory for shredding and drying the coconut meat. By the early 1900’s, coconut cream pie and coconut custard were the rage. Coconut frosting topped all sorts of cakes, while grated coconut added its distinct aroma and flavor to cookies and confections.
