Grandma's Impossible Coconut Pie
Grandma is the kind of person that always comes through when families are faced with hard times.
Whether it's a funeral, an illness, or another sad or trying event, Grandma believes that a meal can lift the spirits.
Especially dessert.
And even more when that dessert is Grandma's Impossible Coconut Pie.
Because she delivers on her promise to always come through, even when time is short, she has this go-to dish that she always sends.
This pie is so easy and quick to make and it tastes great! And while most recipes require Bisquick, this is a simple recipe for coconut pie you can make without Bisquick.
In fact, no matter where this pie has been taken, the plate ALWAYS comes back empty!
Tips & Information
This pie goes into the oven as a liquid, so to avoid spills from the counter to the oven, I recommend a 10" or deeper pie plate.
Impossible pie makes its own crust, so you don't need to roll a crust or even get a pre-made crust. Like I said above, you can make this Impossible Coconut Pie without Bisquick.
It is best to use fresh coconut. The taste will be better with fresh ingredients.
Don't tell anyone how easy it is to make.

Does it matter what size pie pan you use?
It works best in a 9" pie plate
Made this but still looks like it has some liquid in the middle. Will this thicken as it cools?
@Alice,
I just made this pie and have the same problem with the middle. Didn’t want to cook any longer because the edges were getting too dark. Any suggestions anybody??
@Alice, same here. I cooked longer but after 55 min I took it off. Fingers crossed that it sets up as it cools.
This is the easiest and best pie I have ever made!! It is so good!! Didn’t last long at my house.
Thank you for the recipes. They are simple and delicious. I, too, am a great-grandmother. I love having things baked when they come to visit
I followed your recipe but made it sugar free and it's delicious! Thanks for posting!
Well all I can say bout this pie is so easy and ohhhhh soooooo yummy and thank you for the recipe
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I made it as you posted and it was very easy and delicious. Reminds me of the Impossible Pumpkin Pie that was popular in the 1970’s except without Bisquick. Thanks again.
Should I use sweetened coconut?
Yes, that's fine.
2nd time making this pie & we think it’s AMAZING!!
Yes just made this. I would cut back on the sugar for sure!! Way too sweet. Maybe 1 cup sup or use unsweetened coconut my be an alternative
I never comment on this type of stuff, but I just tried this recipe and thought that it
was way too much sugar. I didn’t use all this called for and it is way too sweet. I looked around at other recipes like this and I believe the sugar amount should only be 1/2 cup not 2 cups. Upset that I didn’t double check before I made this. I wasted ingredients. 😢
Hi, Sue. I'm sorry this recipe wasn't right for you. I went back and checked my mom's recipe and it does call for 2 cups of sugar. Everyone's taste buds are different, aren't they? I appreciate your comment - I like honest feedback, for sure.
Can Stevia be used for the sugar?
I am a Type One Diabetic.
Thanks!
I don't know, sorry. I've never tried it. This is a recipe from my mom and we've always just made it as it is.
@Patricia, Have you tried making this with Stevia?
I have many people who ask for sugar free things and again another who asked if I could make him a coconut custard pie sugar free. Going to try it this week.

@Kris, I know you can use Splenda. Thats what I use for baking. Sugar is saved for my hummingbirds.
@Patricia, i followed keto diet for yeats and successfully used sucralose in all my baking.Buy it in powder form as a tiny bit goes a long long way 🙂
@Patricia, I've made this with Stevia and I've also made it with Monkfruit. The Monkfruit was better but both were good. I also used unsweetened coconut.
