Coconut meringue pie

The subtly sweet water and soft, slightly chewy meat of the young coconut are prized ingredients in Thai sweets. This pie creation from Chiang Rai’s Charin Garden Resort, renowned for its fusion dessert pies, blends the best of Thai flavours with an American dessert classic, the coconut cream pie. Here, young coconut water infuses the custard filling, while the flesh is stirred in for texture. The result? An elegant dessert with a billowy meringue topping.
