The weather has been mixed, Tuesday was very wet, and the BBQ to celebrate Liz' birthday was eaten inside her cottage. But Wednesday was wonderfully sunny. Julian had arrived Tuesday night, Adrian and Marion came over, so 15 of us enjoyed sitting outside for another BBQ [our joint 140th birthday!]
Bob cooked all the meats, I made salads, and we had a choice of puds. Eton Mess, Tiramisu, Ice Creams, Fruit - and this "Impossible Coconut Pie"
Really easy, and very tasty - the bottom sets to a creamy custard, the top is a coconutty crust.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- ½cup plain flour
- ½tsp baking powder
- ¼tsp salt
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
METHOD
Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat till well mixed. Pour into a greased baking dish 2" deep, 9" diameter [or approx 7" x 9"] Bake in preheated oven 170* for an hour. Serve chilled, hot or warm.
That sounds delicious we love coconut. I will definitely give this a try next time we have guests. It looks like a great time was had by all. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThe cup measure is useful. I forgot to say I added ingredients in reverse order, thus keeping the cup dry!
DeleteThank you great tip👍 Sue H
DeleteThat sounds like an American recipe so the cups would be 8 fluid ounces instead of 10. Or did the recipe come from a U.K. source?
DeleteIt was from our local museum - they said it was Victorian!
DeleteSounds like a lovely family get together with food and fun. Catriona

DeleteWhen I was first married ( in the early 70's) the Impossible pies were very popular. The savoury ones were my favorite! I like using cup measures too. JanF
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a savoury IP. Lemon, chocolate or coconut - whar flavour is in savoury?
DeleteI've written the recipe down and will try next time we have guests. Your grandchildren must have had a great time together and they are growing up so rapidly. We had a lovely time with Iris on Tuesday despite the rain, she found some books in the Oxfam book shop and I bought her some tops for her holidays. Xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a delight to mooch round the CS with them, looking for books ? I told Rosie about Iris read the Robin S books.
DeleteI'm familiar with impossible coconut pie, and savoury versions with zucchini, but what is the dessert called "Eton Mess", please?
ReplyDeleteEton Mess is a popular summer dessert in the UK, named after the famous boys' school [Prince William and Prince Harry were pupils] it is very simple. Whip cream till it is floppy, then gently fold in chunks of broken up meringues, and fresh strawberries which have been quartered, It looks a mess but tastes wonderful
DeleteSounds fabulous! Decades ago my late uncle was once a tailor in Eton, making the boys' uniforms.
DeleteOh wow! what a heritage. I wonder if he dressed anyone who later became a Prime Minister or similar
DeleteHappy combined 140th birthday! How lovely to be able to celebrate with family.
ReplyDeleteThat coconut pie recipe sounds delicious! I might have to buy some desiccated coconut to make one! I have frozen grated coconut, coconut flour, coconut milk in cans and powdered form, but, no desiccated coconut!
Ive never encountered frozen grated coconut, do you use it in curries?
DeleteThat sounds like an amazing meal and you've reminded me of impossible pie - I haven't had it in ages and it's perhaps due a comeback. Thank you. So glad that you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteYes I think it is due a comeback!
DeleteThank you. This looks a lovely recipe to try out on the family.
