This pie is truly miraculous—simply mix all the ingredients together, pour into a pan and bake, and it forms its own topping and crust around a creamy coconut filling. This recipe was shared by Walt Hanson, who said, “The Impossible Pie is a coveted recipe from my Grandma. She used to make this for me on my birthday growing up. I love recreating those memories and attempting to bake it—it will never quite be the same, but I try!”
