Notes

Do I have to use coconut?

If you're not a fan of coconut, you can leave the coconut flakes out of my easy recipe, making a creamy egg custard pie.
You can also make a lemon impossible pie, with or without coconut, by adding the juice of one-half lemon to the mixture. If you make the lemon version, leave out the cinnamon.
