Oooh! This looks like it should be doable! What do you think, Umpa? Can you work your magic?

Impossible Pie

All the ingredients are mixed together and poured into a pie tin, but when it cooks it forms its own crust with filling This has a coconut vanilla taste like a coconut cream pie

Ingredients

2 cups milk
1 cup shredded coconut
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
8 Tablespoon butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions
Place milk, coconut, eggs, vanilla, flour, butter and sugar in blender. Mix well.
Pour into a greased and floured pie plate. Sprinkle nutmeg on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Thanks, Doug! I have the bakery book and I LOVE it! :)  This recipe looks super good....I just was attracted to the ease of the impossible pie recipe....that it creates it's own crust as it bakes, so you don't have so many steps and so many ingredients. I'm wondering if I could make something similar on an individual scale. Maybe a "personal impossible pie" that I could throw together for myself when I'm craving something sweet. :)  I love all of the recipes in the bakery book but since I'm the only one eating FTS in our house, I don't tend to make the pies or cakes....I make cookies, that I freeze and take out one or two at a time...but I don't have a large freezer and I don't want the temptation of having large amounts of goodies. I have made the coconut cake in the bakery book (which I love!!!) and quartered the recipe and baked it in a small individual loaf pan and that worked out well. 

Anyway....I was just looking for something that would be super quick and easy to make and the Impossible Pie looked like it might fit the bill. ;)  I can play around with the ingredients myself and see what I can come up with using almond flour and heavy cream and Zero.  Do you add more "fillers" when you substitute Zero for sugar, Doug, to make the recipe work? It seems like the sugar would take up so much more space...
