Impossible Coconut Rum Pie

If you haven’t had the joy of making an impossible pie before, let us sum it up for you in two words: delicious and mesmerizing. Now, of course there wouldn’t be any point in making a pie (or any dish) that didn’t taste amazing, but this recipe for impossible coconut rum pie is especially fun because of how easily it comes together and how it all sets up in the oven, plus it’s ridiculously yummy…it’s basically magic.

We could explain the scientific reasoning for why this happens in the oven, but we prefer to just think of it as baking magic, so we’ll leave it at that and move on to our next favorite element of this recipe…which is that it can be ready to get popped into the oven in about five minutes flat.
