Impossible Coconut Pie

April 28, 2011 by Megan 16 Comments

Coconut custard pie that is impossibly easy to make. Just throw all the ingredients in the blender and you’re good to go.

2 cups milk

1 cup flaked coconut
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons margarine or butter
3/4 cup white sugar

Place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a greased and floured 10″ pie pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
 
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to post this recipe; it’s one of my favourites. It’s a very kid-friendly recipe because children can help pour all the ingredients into the blender and watch it blend. I used to like to help my mom make this when I was a kid, and I remember it seemed almost magical the way it forms a crust, then creamy custard, then a layer of coconut on top. The crust isn’t a pie crust in the traditional sense, but there is a thin golden outer layer that lifts out of the pie plate easily. We usually have some kind of dessert on Sundays, and I like to make this recipe on those Sundays when I’m short on time and energy. It’s also great that the ingredients are all typically found in my kitchen in case I haven’t planned a dessert ahead of time. The kids and Tony all seem to enjoy this pie a lot and so do I. They’d probably like a real pie even better, but I am sadly deficient in that area. I just can’t seem to make a decent pie crust! If you like this pie, be sure to check out this pumpkin version we made a while ago; it’s quite yummy too.

    Oh, this looks awesome! I’ve done the pumpkin version but never heard of a coconut kind. I wonder how this would do with coconut milk… hmmm!

    Don’t you love this recipe? My 12-year old made one for Easter dinner. It got eaten so quickly I didn’t get a pic!

    Thank you very much for posting this! I saw it this morning and went to the store to get coconut right away. It turned out wayyy better than I thought it could. I substituted most of the sugar with honey, which gave it a nice flavor. I loved how the coconut got toasted on top. YUM! This is a definite keeper for our family!

    Thank you! I have been looking for this recipe for years. Actually the one I had was from 4-H and wasn’t coconut, but that sounds like a great addition. πŸ™‚

    Hi Megan… I bookmarked this recipe sooooo long ago and just finally made it the other day. We loved it! The custard part is to die for – and I love that it is so easy – and love even more the zero clean up. I did add a pinch of nutmeg and, as I don’t actually have a pie pan, baked it in a round casserole dish. I’ll be making again (probably too often). Thanks!

      That is great to hear! It’s certainly a favourite dessert in our house.
