Coconut Custard Pie

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. Combine Flour and Coconut:
   • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and shredded sweetened coconut.
3. Blend Wet Ingredients:
   • In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Add the flour and coconut mixture to the blender. Blend again until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
5. Pour into Pie Dish:
   • Pour the batter into the greased pie dish. The coconut and flour will settle to the bottom, creating a crust during baking.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool:
   • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. It will continue to set as it cools.
8. Garnish (Optional):
   • If desired, sprinkle a bit of ground nutmeg over the top for a classic touch.
9. Serve:
   • Serve slices of the Impossible Coconut Custard Pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

• Variation: For a tropical twist, you can add a handful of chopped pineapple or a dash of coconut extract to the batter.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. The pie can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
• Crust Formation: Don’t be alarmed if the pie seems a bit liquidy when you first take it out of the oven. It will firm up as it cools, and the coconut and flour settle to create a crust.

This Impossible Coconut Custard Pie is a wonderful dessert to share with family and friends. Its simplicity in preparation, combined with its deliciously unique crust, makes it a standout treat for any occasion. Enjoy the delightful blend of coconut and custard in every bite!
