Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them lightly.

- Add in the 1/2 cup of light sour cream and gently blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch pie dish.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.

Coconut and lime impossible pie FAQ:
Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes. It’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It's best served chilled, so you can enjoy it straight from the fridge.
Yes, you can use fresh coconut if desired, but ensure to adjust the moisture since fresh coconut is more hydrating. Alternatively, you can use shredded sweetened coconut, but this may alter the sweetness and texture.
Use a standard 9-inch pie dish for this recipe. It allows enough space for the batter to rise and form its own crust.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the pie is ready. The top should also have a golden-brown color.
Cooking Tips:
- Temperature: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This will ensure a smoother batter and an even bake.
- Mixing: When combining the ingredients, mix gently but thoroughly to avoid over-beating the eggs, which could result in a tough texture.
- Zesting: Use a fine grater for the lime zest to avoid any bitter white pith getting into your pie batter.
- Baking: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pie; it should come out clean. If the pie is browning too quickly, cover it with foil halfway through the baking time.
- Serving: Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This helps to set the pie and makes for easier, cleaner cuts.
- Garnishing: Garnish with fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of extra coconut flakes for a beautiful presentation.
