Sweet treats

Impossible pie

The reason this pie is “impossible” is because the ingredients separate into three layers while baking. The heavy flour sinks to the bottom of the dish and pretends it’s pastry; the light coconut floats to the top to make a kind of crust or topping; and the egg and milk stay in the middle, making a delicious custard.

SERVES 8 PREP AND COOK TIME 50 MINUTES

½ cup (75g) White Wings Plain Flour
1 cup (150g) CSR coconut sugar
¾ cup (60g) desiccated coconut
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
125g butter, melted
½ cup (40g) flaked almonds
2 cups (500ml) milk fresh passionfruit, blackberries and blueberries for serving
