Ingredients:
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 the 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the melted 1/2 cup of butter until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour in the 2 cups of milk and continue whisking until fully combined.
- Add the 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour to the mixture and whisk until there are no lumps.
- Stir in the 1 cup of dried coconut meat and 1 tablespoon of lime zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 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.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
7. Prepare the Strawberries:
- While the pie is cooling, hull and slice the 2 cups of strawberries. You can serve them fresh alongside the pie, or lightly macerate them with a little bit of sugar if desired.
- Once the pie has cooled, slice it into wedges. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of strawberries.
- Enjoy your Coconut and Lime Impossible Pie!
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.
Your Coconut and Lime Impossible Pie is now ready to delight your taste buds. The combination of coconut and lime creates a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience. Serve with fresh strawberries for an added burst of fruity flavor and enjoy!
