Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and shredded sweetened coconut to the dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. The mixture will be very liquid, but this is normal.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the Impossible Coconut Pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or additional shredded coconut before serving.
