Impossible Coconut Pie 🥥🥧
This is the classic, old-fashioned “magic” pie that forms its own layers while baking—no crust needed. It’s creamy, custardy, and lightly coconutty, with a tender top and a soft base.
Why It’s Called “Impossible”
When it bakes, the batter separates into:
- A soft crust-like bottom
- A creamy custard center
- A light coconut top
All from one bowl ✨

If you want, I can also give you the Impossible Chocolate Pie, Impossible Lemon Pie, or a small-batch version.
