It’s the perfect sweet treat for any Floridian gathering, from a backyard barbecue to a beachside picnic.

What makes this pie so special is the “impossible” part—it creates its own crust without the need for a separate dough. It’s a delight to bake, especially when you see it transform in the oven. Imagine cutting into a slice that reveals a perfectly formed crust on the bottom, a creamy custard center, and a toasty coconut topping. This dessert is the epitome of easy baking with maximum flavor, making it a go-to for Floridians looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert.
