Discover the magic of this *Impossible Coconut Pie*, a dessert that virtually creates its own crust while baking! With just one bowl and a handful of pantry staples like shredded sweetened coconut, milk, and eggs, this recipe comes together in mere minutes for effortless preparation. As it bakes, the creamy coconut batter separates to form a luscious custard layer topped with golden coconut goodness and a surprisingly firm, crust-like base. Perfect for coconut lovers and those seeking a fuss-free, crowd-pleasing treat, this pie is delicious served chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with whipped cream or extra coconut for an elegant finish to this nostalgic, family-friendly dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and shredded sweetened coconut to the dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. The mixture will be very liquid, but this is normal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. The pie will firm up as it cools, creating a crust-like layer on the bottom.
Serve the Impossible Coconut Pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or additional shredded coconut before serving.
