IMPOSSIBLE PIE – Old Fashioned Recipe
Impossible pie is an old fashioned recipe that may even come from the Amish. I got this recipe from an old Mennonite cookbook that has been in my family for at least 40 years. This is a creamy coconut pie kind of like a custard. We like it because it is different from most pies and so quick and easy to make. No pie crust needed, it makes its own!
Impossible pie ingredients you will need:
Eggs
White granulated sugar
Butter
Vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg
All-purpose flour
Milk
Coconut
I do use less sugar and butter in my recipe than the original and we love it this way. You can top this delicious dessert with ice cream or whipped topping. It reheats well to and just a nice simple coconut custard style pie. This pie will rise during baking and fall once removed from the oven so don’t be alarmed if that happens.
This pie is so unique because it makes it’s own crust! It so simple to make and one you can easily throw together quickly. If you have followed out site for any amount of time you know that we love impossible pies and have quite a few. If you love this one you will definitely want to check out our Impossible Banana Cream Pie, Impossible Apple Pie and our Impossible Pumpkin Pie.
Many people remember this recipe from the Bisquick box and it’s definitely been around a long time! These style recipes are what my family loves, the ones that have been around a long time and have stood the test of time.
