Here’s a rich and indulgent Impossible Coconut Pie—so called because the ingredients magically separate during baking to form a custard layer topped with coconut cream and a golden crust. 🥥🥧
🥥 Impossible Coconut Pie
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp coconut extract (optional, for stronger flavor)
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
- Stir in shredded coconut.
3️⃣ Assemble the Pie
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until the top is golden and custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
5️⃣ Cool & Chill
- Allow to cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
💡 Tips
- The “impossible” effect happens naturally—the custard sinks and the coconut rises during baking.
- Use freshly shredded coconut for a more pronounced flavor.
- Top with whipped cream before serving for extra decadence.
