Impossible Pie - silly question

morganlefay

I came across the recipe for Impossible pie and thought I'd make it, but it just says 'coconut' - please can a wise person tell me if that's dessicated, or what ? There are so many sorts of coconut about now and I'm not sure. Thank you in advance....(and does it really work like the recipe says ?)

What else is in the pie?

I would assume it would be dessicated. Don't see many recipes for fresh stuff

The quote I have with my copy of the recipe is '"Impossible" because it's just not possible to go wrong with this recipe. It's so easy' the other quote is 'The reason it's called Impossible Pie is that when it's cooking it makes it's own pastry layer, it's own egg custard layer & the coconut rises to the top making a topping layer.' My recipe also says dessicated coconut

I had the same thought myself about what type of coconut it was, so you are not alone in wondering!

Could you print the recipe please, it sound yummy, I've got a recipe for impossible quiche, made in the same way, I haven't tried it yet, has anyone on here made it, does it work?

the thing with this recipe is that the mix looks like it could never in a million years form anything resembling a cake. but trust me... bung the whole gloopy mess in the oven and count down the minutes, 'cos the end product is absolutely divine :drool:
