Add berries: Fresh blueberries or raspberries would be a wonderful addition to the pie. Once the mixture has been poured into the prepared pie pan, top it evenly with small berries and bake as directed.
Incorporate some spice: Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to add warm spices to your pie. Simply incorporate 1 teaspoon into the blended mixture.
How to Store Impossible Pie
Because it’s a custard-based pie, impossible pie should be stored in the refrigerator. Wrap it with storage wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Can you freeze impossible pie?
Impossible pie freezes very well. Wrap the pie in a layer of storage wrap and a layer of aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer bag. Freeze the pie for up to two months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and serving.
Impossible Pie Tips
Can you make impossible pie without coconut?
Not a fan of coconut? Leave it out. The shredded coconut enhances the flavor and texture of this impossible pie, but it can be left out if preferred.
Should impossible pie be served warm or cold?
Part of the appeal of impossible pie is that it can be served at any temperature. Let it cool slightly out of the oven to enjoy it warm, try it at room temperature or serve impossible pie straight out of the refrigerator.
What else can you serve with impossible pie?
Impossible pie is a wonderful blank canvas to dress up with fruit or a drizzle of melted chocolate. The pie can be served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to turn this into an a la mode dessert. A scoop of coconut gelato would be divine too.
Can you make impossible pie with a classic pie crust?
The beauty of impossible pie is that it bakes into layers and forms its own crust-like section. However, if you want to pair it with a traditional butter pie crust, you can. Pour the mixture into a parbaked pie crust and then finish baking the pie for 45 to 50 minutes.
