Notes

Possibly Impossible Pie

Some dishes just don't get the credit they deserve.
My mom's impossible coconut pie is one of those dishes. It's just incredible--I had this one mixed up and in the oven in less than 10 minutes and every single bite was delicious. There's no crust with which to wrestle and I don't think I've ever come across a coconut dessert I didn't like.
While it takes more patience than I normally exhibit, this pie really is much better after it's been completely chilled. I find that if you eat it warm out of the oven, the egg flavor is just a tad too strong. Considering the ease and time involved, this is one of my very best desserts and frankly, I'm ashamed that I don't remember it more often.
