Impossible Coconut Pie
A pie that’s impossibly easy to make and makes its own crust. It’s creamy, custard-y and incredibly delicious! Top each slice with whipped cream and toasted coconuts – you are in heaven!
I have a problem… and it’s terrible.
I still haven’t found a solution… but I am trying.
I have an issue with whipping a cream… or to be specific – whipping a cream with add-ons (e.g. whipping cream + cream cheese).
Stabilizing a whipped cream is not a problem anymore. The current problem I am facing is when cream cheese is added to whipping/whipped cream.
I made Red Velvet Cupcakes during the week and I was expecting to achieve a pipeable cream cheese frosting, but instead, I got a very, very runny frosting. I whipped the cream and it came out really good. When I added the cream cheese and beat again, ugh! The frosting disappointed me. Maybe I should have mixed both with a spatula and not with the electric mixer.
Oh well… I made another frosting using butter and it was okay. But I really want to make it with whipping cream.
Ha! Who says I am giving up? Good thing this recipe doesn’t need very well piped whipped cream – store-bought would be just fine. Well, this doesn’t include whipped cream, really! It’s just an optional recipe, but makes every slice even better.
This coconut is unbelievably divine and easy to make. It makes its own crust which is really good because I’m all about the custard-y coconut “filling” and the almost burnt (in a delicious way, of course) “crust”.
This pie is good on its own, but the additional whipped cream topping and toasted just makes this even more delicious!

this looks soooooo yummy Jhuls, and I just love that it makes it’s own crust – I like it when dessert does the work for me!
As far as whipping cream and cream cheese frosting goes, I make one but do it the other way around.
I whip the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Then pour cream in a little at a time, whipping all the while, until it is thick. Make yummy, thick, pipe-able frosting!
If you whip things into already whipped cream, you knock all the air out so it splits and goes runny again! If you’re adding anything to whipped cream, it needs to be stirred in with a rubber spatula gently!
Jhuls
That’s what I thought so – I put a lot of force when mixing them together. Must be my overflowing energy. Haha! I am a little scared adding the whipping cream to the cream cheese while beating, but what more can go worst. Better I try that so I will know, hoping that it will work for me. Thanks a bunch, Michelle. x

There used to be a whole book of “Impossible Pies” back in the 70’s – they were both savory and sweet. My Mom had it, but never made this one! It looks delish!! I am always trying different ways to stabilize whipped cream…have yet to find the perfect version.
Thanks for bringing this by FF!
Jhuls
You let me know when you find something about stabilizing whipped cream. Sometimes it works, but sometimes no.
Thanks a lot, Mollie. x

What a beautiful pie Jhuls! I love coconut. I’ve never tried the cream cheese whipped cream but it sounds delicious.

I usually make whipped cream + cream cheese when I make red velvet cupcakes.
Thanks a lot, Julie. x

Laura @ Feast Wisely
Wow his looks delicious – how do you think it would turn out with a natural sweetener in place of the sugar?
Jhuls
Hmm, I think it would be great. I was planning to use coconut sugar, but I didn’t find where I placed mine. Think of super clutter! Hahaha! Let me know, Laura. x

Quite similar to my tart I posted a few days ago which is a traditional South African recipe called Klappertert.
Jhuls
Your coconut tart sounds great! The crust compliments the coconut filling really well. 🙂

Haha! You’ll do great, Quinn! I am just terrible with whipping the cream from the start. Sometimes I just get lucky. 99.9% of the time, I am not. Happy FF and thanks for sharing. 🙂
