What You’ll Need for Ingredients

Eggnog: This recipe uses eggnog to make the pie filling rich, creamy, and instantly festive. Karlynn’s Tip: You can lightly whisk in a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice to make your eggnog taste even more like the holidays.

Rum Extract: Adding rum extract brings a warm, cozy flavor that complements the coconut beautifully. Karlynn’s Tip: If you can’t find any rum extract, swap vanilla or almond extract in instead!

Coconut Flakes: Coconut flakes give your pie a tropical, chewy texture with a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the eggnog.

Butter: Using salted butter adds richness and creates a smooth, creamy texture in the filling. Karlynn’s Tip: You can use unsalted butter if you don’t have salted on hand. Just adjust the sugar or salt slightly to taste!

Eggs: Using 3 large eggs provides structure and helps your pie set perfectly. Karlynn’s Tip: Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother, more consistent filling!

How To Make Impossible Eggnog Coconut Pie

This is a quick overview of the recipe. The full list of ingredients & complete step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below.

Preheat the oven to 350°F, then grease your pie plate and set it aside.
Blend the eggnog, coconut flakes, sugar, flour, eggs, butter, and rum extract until completely combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate, then sprinkle nutmeg on top of the filling.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the pie is set in the middle. The middle will be firm but not liquid, with a slight jiggle.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Impossible Eggnog Coconut Pie

Let it Chill: Don’t skip the cooling step! This pie is at its best when fully chilled. It helps all the flavors blend, and the texture sets perfectly.
Top it Your Way: Customize your pie by adding a dollop of whipped cream, shaved chocolate, pumpkin spice, or fresh berries. Mix and match the toppings to make it truly your own!
Make It Crunchy: Add a handful of candied pecans, walnuts, or even graham cracker crumbs on top for a fun texture contrast.

Storage Instructions

This Impossible Eggnog Coconut Pie stores like a dream in the refrigerator and holds up beautifully in the freezer, too!

Refrigerator: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Chilling maintains the silky texture and helps the custard stay firm. Always keep it cold – this pie is meant to be enjoyed straight from the fridge!

Freezer: Once fully cooled and set, wrap your slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. It will keep well for up to 3 months following the USDA food safety guidelines. Thaw slices in the fridge before serving for the best texture!
