Description
This magical "impossible" pie forms its own crust, creating a creamy, tropical custard dessert with a golden, toasted coconut topping and minimal effort.
Ingredients
½ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups milk
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Add the melted unsalted butter, milk, large eggs, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Step 4: Gently stir in the sweetened shredded coconut into the batter.
Step 5: Pour the entire mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie dish.
Step 6: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the custard is set.
Step 7: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the pie to fully set and achieve its perfect texture.
Notes
For best results, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature, as this helps the batter mix more smoothly and bake evenly. Do not overmix the batter; whisk until just combined to prevent air bubbles and cracks in the custard. Cooling completely is crucial for the pie to set properly and allow for clean slices.
