Surprise!....................
Yes, I have a lovely surprise for you today! My daughter-in-law, Lindsay served us a delicious dessert a few weeks ago - as soon as I took the first bite, I knew I would be begging her to share it with you.................
I think for most people coconut is a love or hate type thing. Up until a couple years ago, I could take it or leave it but I started changing my mind when we went on our family beach trip and had some amazing coconut macaroons. After that, it seemed that I couldn't get enough coconut. I came across this Coconut Impossible Pie and knew I had to give it a try. It is called an "impossible" pie because the flour makes a crust without having to make a crust! This pie comes together in just a few minutes and it is so delicious. If you like coconut give it a try! ~ Lindsay
P.S. Check back tomorrow - I've been working on a Café original - Pesto Pizza w/ Italian Sausage, Slow Roasted Tomatoes and Spring Herb Gremolata - a fabulous way to use some of those Italian Slow Roasted Tomatoes from yesterday's post!
Mini Coconut Impossible Pies
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup flour
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 cups milk (I used skim)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and butter small ramekins or two 9 inch pie plates.
2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with the sugar. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in flour, coconut and milk. Pour mixture into ramekins or pie plates and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch.

Oh I've made an impossible pie before! But it didn't look half as good as these, Chris! Thanks for sharing this with us... It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, and so easy! I have made the impossible pies before, but all the Bisquick ones,this one looks more elegant and fresh! Maybe now I will like coconut in something other than Hostess Snoballs and Mallo Cups!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love this tablecloth...
ReplyDeleteWell I tend to think baking anything is impossible, but these look pretty easy!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! I'm with you on the coconut. Funny, I didn't like it at all till I turned about 40, then a girlfriend made a coconut cake for my bday and I had to be polite and eat some. It was awesome and I've been a convert ever since!!! Loving the idea of these beauties!!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of impossible pie...but I do love coconut and know that I will be giving these little pies a try!

ReplyDeleteLinds-I believe I have the original recipe someone gave to me in the 70's - I love this recipe - but you have made it so much prettier and easier to serve. Thanks for bringing back an oldie but goodie and making it oh so much better. Think I will use it for company only.

ReplyDeleteOMG this looks amazing! Can't wait to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI am aa sucker for anything coconut. I'm in the LOVE my husband is in the HATE department. I'll have to make this when people come over so I have some one to share them with. Do you know if there's a way to reduce the sugar or use a substitute? If not that's ok. Just curious.
ReplyDeleteFrances, it is a lot of sugar - I think you could reduced the amount a bit and also substitute some honey or agave with good results.
ReplyDeletehaha! what a name! "impossible pies"! this looks gorgeous, and anythign coconut is sure to taste amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic recipe! We love coconut pie so I cannot wait to make these. I have just discovered your beautiful blog and I'm now your newest follower. I am looking forward to reading more. Thanks!
