Rub the flour, half of the salt, and cold butter together until sandy.
Add the cold water, bring the dough together, and chill for 20 minutes.
Whisk the coconut water, milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and remaining salt.
Cook the mixture in a pot for 6 minutes, until thickened.
Stir the young coconut meat into the cream.
Place half of the dough in the pie pan, add the filling, and cover with the remaining dough.
Bake the pie in a 190°C oven for 35 minutes, until browned.
Rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the filling into the crust before it cools to warm; hot custard melts the butter pastry and makes the pie heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pie warm or at room temperature with plain tea.
