How To Make A Crustless Coconut Pie “Impossible Pie”
Impossible pies are a southern thing. It’s called “impossible” because it actually makes its own crust with a small amount of flour added to the mix. I just love that it saves me the labor of rolling out pie dough and it’s super easy to make! This crustless coconut pie recipe is a revised version of one that was published in Food and Wine magazine.
I made some additions to the original recipe, adding orange zest, vanilla, and coconut extract and it took this pie to a whole new level. These flavors marry together like a match made in heaven.
Ingredients:
1 cup of sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted and brought to room temperature
1/4 cup extra-virgin organic coconut oil
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 cups milk (2% or whole milk)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 tbsp orange zest
1/4 tsp sea salt
What To Serve With Crustless Coconut Pie
I love to serve this pie warm with a small scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt. It tastes like warm coconut custard. It is also good served room temperature with a dollop of whip cream on top. Store pie in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving. This easy pie recipe makes the perfect Easter dessert!
If you’re a big coconut lover, then don’t miss this Light Coconut Cream Pie and my mom’s recipe for Moist Coconut Cake. It was one of my favorite dessert requests when I was growing up. So easy and delicious!!
