IMPOSSIBLE PIE

IMPOSSIBLE PIE
Used this as part of a lesson on how Heavenly Father can do the impossible (Living Scriptures lesson) (see below).  This was such an easy pie to make and it did separate like it was suppose to.  Even Abagail liked it and she doesn't like coconut.  Tasted like a buttermilk pie.

1/2 cup butter, softened 
1/2 cup flour 
1 cup sugar 
2 tsp vanilla extract 
4 eggs 
2 cups milk 
1 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350F. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and beat together until combined. Pour into a 9-inch greased pie pan. Bake for 1 hour or until center is firm and pie is golden. Cool on a cooling rack and then put in the fridge until ready to serve. It is recommended to let the pie cool for a few hours so it has a chance to firm up.

Treat Time: Show your family the pie before it goes into the oven, and after it’s baked. What happened? (A crust forms on the bottom, a custard bakes in the middle, and the coconut rises to the top.) Did you expect the pie to turn out like this? Why is it called “Impossible Pie”? 

Just because we think something might be impossible, doesn't mean it can't happen!  In this magical dessert, all the ingredients are mixed together, but as it bakes, one layer settles to the bottom to become a crust.  The coconut rises to the top as a topping and a yummy custard fills the center.
