Coconuts are already 'in line', but they are susceptible to spoilage during long overland journeys and tend to be the object of confusion when in one's kitchen, for lack of recipe ideas.

The shipping problem was solved by a French export company in what is present day Sri Lanka when their specialists started to plan and dry the copra. This has made the dish more accessible to American and European chefs and chefs. The popularity of coconut has increased worldwide.

Its status as a 'regular' bakery ingredient was cemented in 1895 when a miller in Philadelphia received a shipment of coconuts to repay a debt from a customer in Cuba.

No one is sure who made the first coconut cream pie, but in the early 20th century, you could find them just about anywhere.
