Impossible Coconut Pie vs. Recipe Tutorial

[HD VIDEO, PHOTOS & IMAGES]
Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make an Impossible Coconut Pie. I always thought the name Impossible Pie or Impossible Coconut Pie was a strange name for a pie. It seems that no one really knows for such where the name came from, but it may be from the fact that this pie is "impossibly" easy to make. Or maybe it's because it seems "impossible" how a bunch of ingredients that are just mixed together can end up as a three layer pie.

Serves 8 to 10 people.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
1/2 cup (65 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) salt
1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking powder
1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
2 cups (480 ml) whole (full fat) milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons (8 grams) pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (125 grams) shredded or flaked sweetened dried coconut
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter, or spray with a non stick cooking spray, a 10 inch (25 cm) pie pan that is about 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
Place all the ingredients, except the dried coconut, in your blender or food processor and process until well combined. Then stir in the coconut. (You can also do this by hand. In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Then, one by one, whisk in the rest of the ingredients.)
Pour the batter into your prepared pie pan and bake for about 55 - 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. If you gently shake the pan the pie will be set. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack until cool. Can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold. Leftovers can be covered and stored for a day or two. Although you will notice that the coconut topping does soften after being stored.

0:52this one's a almost two inches deep which spoke five centimeters
0:57and then we want to either bader the pan
1:01or you could just break between those non-stick sprays I'm actually
1:04because the recipe calls for some melted butter I'm actually just going to use a
1:08little about
1:09to brush my peen and so
1:12have a pastry brush easy way to do that

1:33known seems to know some people say it's because this is impossibly easy to make
1:39and some people say its that because
1:42its kinda impossible how you can make such a simple batter
1:46when you put it in the oven you get three layers either way
1:49doesn't really matter to me all I know is it's really easy to make and it
1:53tastes great
