Blackberry Coconut Impossible Pie

In the 1970’s Impossible Pie was a common household term. What is Impossible Pie you ask? The word “impossible” was originally used to mean “impossibly easy” because instead of working up a sweat making a perfect pie crust, you use a baking mix (Bisquick) and fillings all mixed together then baked.

The results are custard-like and quite nostalgic, especially for anyone who remembers the term “Imopssible Pie”, because General Mills now refers to them as “Impossibly Easy Pies” so as not to scare off the literal thinking population.

Impossible Blackberry Coconut Pie

The Impossible Coconut Pie is probably the most popular, though there are many different flavor combinations out there, sweet and savory.

I chose to add blackberries to mine. I love blackberries, but you can really use any type of berry you like.

So if you love Impossible Pie or you are just curious about it, give it a whirl. If you don’t have any Bisquick on hand, you can make your own using my master mix recipe.
