Easy Coconut Pie

Some of y’all may remember this Impossibly Easy Coconut Pie from years ago. Unlike many pies, you don’t bake this in a pie shell – instead, the pie magically makes its own crust. How cool is that? Awesome, right – because we have no pie crust to screw up! 😉

Do you remember when impossibly easy pies were all the rage? Not gonna lie; they still are all the rage to me! I love them when I need something quick and easy. Were you ever a fan of the impossibly easy pies? What was your favorite one?

This Impossibly Easy Coconut Pie especially reminds me of an old-fashioned custard pie. I love how simple these are to make. You probably have all of the ingredients on hand to make this dessert right now. It’s budget-friendly, and it tastes great!

The only change I made to this recipe was to add the ground nutmeg to the top – because that’s just always the way I’ve always had it and I kinda like how it looks. If you prefer to leave the nutmeg off, feel free to do so!

How to make Coconut Pie

Time needed: 1 hour and 10 minutes

How to make Coconut Pie

  1. Prepare pie plate.

    Grease a pie plate or spray it with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. Combine ingredients.

    Put all ingredients (except the nutmeg) together in a blender. Blend on LOW speed until well combined.

  3. Transfer mixture to pie plate.

    Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

  4. Bake.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

  5. Refrigerate leftovers.

    Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Recipe Notes

  • You can also just mix this by hand until well blended if you prefer!
  • When looking for coconut, be sure to read your packages closely. There are two types available: flaked and shredded. Flaked coconut is cut into small pieces and is drier than shredded coconut. Although either type works well in most recipes, using shredded coconut results in a more moist and chewy finished product.
  • Try topping off a slice of this pie with Homemade Whipped Cream for an extra special treat.

Coconut Pie: FAQs

➡️ Can you freeze Coconut Pie?

Yes, you can. Be sure the pie is cooled completely. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to three months. When redy to serve, allow the pie to thaw overnight in the fridge.

➡️ How long is Coconut Pie good for?

Properly stored, covered in the refrigerator, it’s best to use it within 5-7 days.

➡️ Can I substitute gluten-free Bisquick for the regular Bisquick?

According to the Bisquick website:

“In general, Gluten-Free Bisquick should not be substituted in recipes calling for Original Bisquick and/or Heart Smart Bisquick. The product formulas are different and each performs differently. Success is ensured by using recipes specifically developed for Bisquick Gluten Free.”
