Impossible Pie

“This is my favorite coconut pie to make.I have even substituted Splenda for baking for the sugar in it and it turned out great.”

“I love this recipe..couldn’t be easier.My husband devoured it.In fact, he suggested that next time I make it, that I add crushed pinneaple.Should go good with the coconut.Thanks for the recipe.It’s a keeper!”

“Brought back memories of something my Nanna used to cook when I was little (a very long time ago).Incredibly easy, nice custard centre, yum. It is winter here, and it was a perfect way to finish dinner.”

“I made 3 of these for Easter. I started out making just one, and my hubby ate it all, just after proclaiming, “I don’t like coconut” The next two I experimented made one with lemon and one without coconut, but added pecans. All 3 were very good but the orginal was great. P.S. I used coconut milk instead of regular milk.”

“I hadn’t thought of this pie in years.My mother made this often when I was growing up.I did cut the margerine in half, but otherwise made it as posted.Thanks for the memory!”

“Very easy,I only used2 Tbls. melted butter.Turned out great. Good Stuff!!!!!”

“To say this is simple to put together is an understatement. Very easy.I used 3/4 of the serving size as I had a 9″ pie pan. It overloaded it. (good thing I had foil underneath it during baking).I would suggest if using pie pans, as stated, it would make 2 easily.The pie did sink down right after removing it from the oven but it was still very good.A bit of moisture on the bottom of the pie dish also. Overall, yea it is very good. ~Bird”

“This is what my Mom made when I was a child! I did not have her recipe. She had passed and thought I would never see it again. Thank you for sharing it!~ Wendy”

“We really enjoyed this pie, but were not crazy about the “crust” it was sort of rubbery.I also sprinkled about 3/4 cup of coconut on the top to brown in the oven.Apart from the crust the pie is very good.”

“This recipe was sure fun to make.I needed 29-inches pie dishes to contain all the recipe.So I assume my pie dishes were much shallower than yours.It did well separate but ended up with less custard in the middle.DH didn’t like much, to eggy for his taste.I liked it, and baby loved it very much.It’s a sugary way to get some eggs in him :)”

“As a little girl, I used to make this with my mom.It brings back such great memories, however, back then I was always sad to see it sink in the middle.However, after years of baking I learnt not to take these sort of desserts out of the oven immediately.Instead, turn off the oven and let the pie slowly cool.I used Splenda instead of sugar and only used 1/4 cup of butter and it worked perfectly.I didn’t use a pie plate either. . . I used individual ramikins.Added a perfect touch!”

“I made something like this years ago but it was too greasy.I made your and cut the butter by half and it is perfect!A dessert couldn’t be easier.Thanks so much.Nancy”

“Who would believe that something that tastes so decadent would be so easy and come from such a short humble list of ingredients.Holy cow…This was terrific!This has the most wonderfully rich comforting taste….if you are wondering whether to try this or not….just go ahead and try it (in my humble opinion I don’t think you will be sorry). Not a whole lot of work and by gosh it tastes like you really spent some serious time in the kitchen. This will become a standby for me I am sure….and my daughter who is home from university this weekend says this will become a recipe she will use when she has friends over for dinner.One note…you will need a very large pie plate (deep dish) as this puffs up beautifully…it falls once out of the oven but I think it still looks beautifull with the toasted coconut on top and the custardy filling below.I made the recipe exactly as is this time (the milk I used was 1%)…next time I will try using splenda. Thank you Tebo!”

“Perfect dessert, in my opinion!It combined two of my favorites in one–crispy toasted coconut on top and a flan/creme brulee-like middle.The only change I made was to use 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. almond extract, just because I love the flavor of coconut and almond together. It was incredibly easy to make and fun to watch bake; I love how the crust forms!Thanks for a pie I’ll make often.”

“When this pie frist came out of the oven, it was beautiful and I was so proud of myself, but after sitting on the counter to cool, it collapsed in the middle and I was so sad. Nothing happened to the flavor though, it was delicious. I used splenda and 2% milk and thought it was a great tasting pie. Thanks Tebo”

“This was indeed easy to make but I think my pie dish was a size too small (it wouldn’t hold all of it). Anyway, the family said it was really good and wants it again. Thanks, I love easy cooking!”

“This is a nice and easy recipe for making a custard type pie. I had enough filling to make a little sampler because my pie plate was full. I greased my pie plate with butter, and had a dollup of butter left over. I put it in the bottom of plate and when I added the filling it came to the top and made those butter indentions (imperfections) that you see in the photos I posted, on top of my pie. It didn’t bother the taste at all.”

“This took me right back to my Grandma’s house.Simple and delish.My husband had never had it, and was pleasantly surprised.He compared the flavor to one of his favorite desserts – custard.Thank you for posting!”

“My family didn’t care for this one too much, way too “eggy”. But it is such a neat recipe and the way the bottom crust formed was so cool!”

“My”pie” was essentially a coconut-custard with a crunchy top; I only had 1 layer. It tasted fine, but nothing special. After reading the reviews, and seeing it turned out nicely for most, I figure I’m the one whomust have done something wrong, so my rating is based solely on the taste. I must specify that I’m not a huge custard fan, although I love coconut…”
