Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups white granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish generously with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until well blended. Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the eggs.
Add the granulated sugar to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the salt and whisk gently to incorporate, creating a smooth batter.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to ensure a lump-free consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. The mixture will be thin, but it will bake up beautifully.
Carefully transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. During this time, the pie will naturally separate into a crust, custard, and coconut topping.
Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy the magic of Impossible Pie!
