Crustless Coconut Pie: The Magic Dessert That Makes Its Own Crust



When it comes to baking, few recipes feel as magical as the Crustless Coconut Pie. Also called “Impossible Coconut Pie,” this dessert has a reputation for being deceptively easy yet irresistibly good. What makes it truly special is its ability to create a soft, custardy center and a golden, crust-like edge—all without the fuss of rolling or prebaking an actual crust.

The result? A pie that tastes like a cross between coconut cream pie and custard, with just the right amount of chewiness from toasted coconut. It’s the perfect dessert for coconut lovers, and the best part is—you only need one bowl, a whisk, and a handful of pantry staples.
