After my 5th attempt I finally figured what’s wrong. I wasn’t cooking it long enough to achieve the right thickness. Thank youuuu so much. And about the sweetness I made it 1 cup sugar instead of 1.5 since I didn’t want to drain the macapuno. Thankkk you so much.

Hi, Marj. Sorry I’ve never used pouring cream. Can you find Nestle’s cream in NZ? It might be a better substitute because of its heavy, thick consistency.

Hi, Cindy. Yes you can drain the syrup from the bottled macapuno if you wish. Thanks for stopping by the blog. Enjoy the pie 🙂

Can we drain the syrup from the bottles of macapuno? I am just worried if you don’t drain the syrup it might come out too sweet since the recipe calls for 1.5cups of granulated sugar. Your reply is truly appreciated. Thanks by the way for sharing the recipe. One of my comfort food .

Is heavy cream different from pouring cream? That’s what we have here in NZ. And I noticed all my pies came pur runny.

Hi! After my 3rd attempt. (I used cornstarch on my 2nd and 3rd) they were still running. I couldn’t find a heavy cream so I’ve been using pouring cream. Should I give it a whip first before putting it in the pan with sugar?

Thanks, Marj. Glad you liked this buko pie recipe. Sorry, I’ve never used tapioca flour for this pie. When baking, I’ve found it is best to stick to the recipe 100% — baking is a chemistry and I don’t attempt to change the ingredients. Hope that helps. Enjoy your pie 🙂
