FAQ
Q: Why is it called “Impossible” pie?
A: Because it magically separates into three layers as it bakes — a crust-like bottom, creamy custard center, and coconut topping — without needing a separate crust!
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A: Yes, substitute coconut milk for whole milk and plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
Q: Can it be frozen?
A: This pie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze individual slices tightly wrapped for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
