IMPOSSIBLE PIE – Old Fashioned Recipe
Impossible Pie is always requested from my family. They love it!
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. I do use less sugar and butter in my recipe than the original. This Impossible Pie does not need a crust as it makes its own. 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. Serve it with coffee as a dessert or you could add ice cream or whipped cream. We like this pie just plain and often have it for breakfast as a sweet morning treat. If you like custard and coconut, you will love this Impossible Pie! You might like my recipe for Dutch Apple Pie, too.

Recipe feedback: “Thank you for posting this recipe. I learned about Impossible Coconut Cream Pie in home economics. As a teenager, this was my go-to dessert and my family enjoyed it as much as I did. Have always LOVED coconut and making it for my God daughters wedding shower brought back wonderful memories of home and family.” – Sandy
“It’s my first time making any “impossible” recipe and it really does make it’s own crust!” – Carrie
