Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9-inch or 10-inch pie plate (1 1/4 or 1 1/2-inch deep).
- Place all ingredients in a blender container.
- Cover and blend on high for 15 seconds.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat coconut milk in place of regular milk. If you're short on coconut, you can substitute with chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Ensure you blend the ingredients just enough to combine; over-blending may affect the pie's texture. This recipe is versatile, much like the flavors found in American recipes, so feel free to experiment with different extracts like almond.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Impossible Coconut Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with coffee, making it a great dessert option for brunch or an afternoon treat. Consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the sweetness, much like you might with a slice of Blueberry Tea Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge, as the flavors continue to develop over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?
Yes, you can use sweetened coconut. Just be aware that it might make the pie a bit sweeter, so consider reducing the sugar slightly for balance. This could enhance the overall flavor profile while still keeping the pie delicious.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This homemade version works well in this recipe and will yield similar results.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! This pie is perfect for making ahead of time. You can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just allow it to cool completely before covering it, ensuring it stays fresh and delicious for your gathering.
