Unable to find my recipe for Amazing Coconut Pie (the kind that uses Bisquick* to make its own crust), I went searching through my cookbooks and found a similar one. Well, I need not search any further because this new version is so much better!
Impossible Coconut Custard Pie is incredibly creamy, delicious and not ‘egg-y’.
It has a wonderful texture.

The recipe uses Bisquick baking mix that magically forms the crust but the ingredient that totally takes the taste over the top is the sweetened condensed milk. I think it is what makes the pie so velvety smooth. That, with the toasted coconut topping and you have a yummy dessert.

It is perfect for any time of the year but especially lovely served for an Easter breakfast or brunch.

I make it frequently. Because the ingredients are staples in my pantry, I turn to the recipe when I need to make a dessert last minute.

    OMG! This custard pie – where do I start on the level of deliciousness? Heavenly!!! I saw the picture and decided I just had to make it. I didn’t acquire the bisquick biscuit mix but I got the bisquick pancake and baking mix, so I used that, I also used 1 cup of whole milk (because I need to use up this milk) and 1/2 cup of water. 35 minutes later – scrumptiousness was delivered from the oven. My husband loved the crunch of the coconut (sucker for a crunch) and my daughter told me she’ll have to do extra laps at swimming and I will have to do extra sit-ups but it’s all worth it! Thank you so much for this recipe, I know this won’t be my last time making this.

    I had forgotten all about this pie. It was my “go to” coconut pie recipe back in the early 1970’s when I was a newly wed ( and had a harvest gold blender just like yours).
    As time moved on I became skilled at making a rolled pie crust and moved on to a more traditional coconut pie recipe.
    When I found this recipe on Pinterest I knew I had to give it a go for old times sake. It’s not a traditional pie, but it’s a darned good pie. In fact, the ease of preparation makes it a great pie!
    Thanks for the recipe and the memories.!!

      Yes, this is a really easy and tasty pie without making a crust. My old time version from the 70’s and 80-s did not include sweetened condensed milk like this one. I think this recipe is creamier and better tasting.

    An oldie but a goodie, This was my favorite growing up! The older generation loved their sweetened condensed milk, she had so many recipes that used it. My grandma made it all the time and she said she ate it as a kid too, she was born in 1923 and her mom made it and passed it on to her and I am thankful I have her recipe so I can pass it on to my kids as well! I love these old recipes that pass from generation to generation and it’s never too old fashioned to enjoy, you know it’s good when it doesn’t go out of style like everything else.

      Good morning, Donna!

      Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. I was away for a little getaway with my daughters and several granddaughters connecting at a location between our homes.

      I don’t see it would be a problem at all to leave off the coconut in this recipe but I do think it might lack some flavor. The custard part is good though. I’m not sure what an egg custard pie tastes like but it is such an easy pie to make, you might want to give it a try to see if it is what you are looking for.

      Let me know how it turns out if you do.

      Sending wishes for a lovely Thanksgiving and holiday season 🙂

      Hi Joseph,

      I thought about your question and since I have only made the coconut custard pie per the recipe I am just guessing here. If you did not add the bisquick, I suppose you could just add the filling to a graham cracker pie crust and bake. The problem is whether or not to prebake the graham cracker crust. I did a quick internet search and the recipes I found uses a cooked filling placed into a baked graham cracker crust. If you are brave, you could experiment. Please let me know it you do and the results.

      I’m not sure how the pie would turn out substituting coconut milk or cream for the water. The flavor and texture of the filling is really good just as the recipe is written and the changes would make it much higher in calories. If you give it a try though, I would love to hear back from you as to how it turns out.

    I used three large eggs and followed the recipe except I did put the sweetened condensed milk in first, not sure why this would make a difference but it tastes eggy to me. Lord willing, may try again and use only two eggs and 1% milk in place of the water. Anyone have a suggestion as to why it tasted eggy to me. Husband has not made a comment yet, made it for the first time today.

    I made this pie today. I did make one change. I used 2 percent milk in place of the water. It was very good. Word of warning. I had a bad boil over I did place on a cookie sheet just in case. The flavor was very good. Will make again in a deeper dish and i will add more coconut (i went a little conservative knowing i had a shallow pie plate) reminded me a little of my familys chess pie.

    I made this today and it is unbelievably good! I did exactly as you instructed and used your Bisquik substitute. I doubled the recipe because I had 11 ladies to serve, made it in a 9 x 11 pan, baked it 40 minutes. It was perfect! Thin crust on the bottom, creamy middle layer, crunchy golden top. A couple of days ago I tried another recipe by this name, but with lemon. The pie itself came nowhere near yours, and I personally thought the lemon didn’t work well with the coconut. It was like the flavors were competing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.

    I see the coconut is only placed on top, does that mean there will not be coconut with in the center of the pie? If not, can you mix half the coconut in and place the other half on top?

      January 16, 2019 at 5:37 am

      Hello Dorothea,

      The coconut is only sprinkled on the top but since the pie is thin, the coconut flavor fills each bite. I don’t think it would make much of a difference in flavor if the coconut was divided for both the top and center. And, the coconut on top browns nicely during baking. One other thought… since the baking mix needs a few minutes to settle before baking to form the crust-like bottom, the coconut in the liquid might interfere. Probably not but just wondering.

      Hope this is helpful for you and thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment!

          I thought about this and I am not really sure. Bananas are heavier than the coconut and might sink. That might not be a problem, though. This is not like a banana cream pie recipe. Please let me know if you try this and how it turns out because it is an interesting idea.

      Hi Juanita,

      I’m not sure how it would work out adding the liquid to a pie crust since it makes its own crust. This recipe does not make a typical pastry crust but rather one that allows the pie to be cut into nice slices. The purpose of this recipe is to avoid the work of making a crust.

      You could experiment but excluding the Bisquick baking mix and see what happens. If you do, please let me know how it turns out.

      Hi Grover,
      No, I have only made the recipe as written. It tastes pretty rich and creamy with the water so I am not sure what difference it would make to substitute milk. Let me know if you try it and how it works out.

    I tried this with COCONUT condensed milk and GLUTEN FREE Bisquick. DELICOUS! It worked equally well, just required a few extra minutes of baking which you can tell when the middle isn’t so firm. We nixed the shredded coconut because there is enough coconut flavor in the milk and we aren’t fans of the shredded coconut texture. Loved this recipe. Keeping it!

    Made this pie 4 times in 2 weeks. Just wonderful. The first two coconut custard pie were too sweet for me. Making the third and forth pie I bought unsweetened organic coconut flakes and mixed with sugar water to sweeten to my taste. It came out excellent. Remember there is enough sweetness in the sweeten condense milk to begin with. I now a new dessert to offer friends & family. Thanks for the recipe.

      Oh, thank you for pointing out the discrepancy in the directions! I will go in and fix that. Not sure what speed to use as I think it probably doesn’t make too much of a difference. I think it is the length of time the blender runs to completely distribute the baking mix evenly. Maybe I will say medium speed

    I loved the idea of this dessert because it's preparation is so low key.

    Unfortunately, I'm unimpressed by the end product. The flavor is nice: sweet and eggy; reminiscent of flan or tapioca though an entirely different texture. It is a nice dessert, but it doesn't inspire me to reach for a second slice.

    In the pros column, its preparation results in less mess than a box of brownies.
