Impossible Pie (coconut custard fruit pie) !!

What’s with the name? Basically you just mix everything together, pour it into a pie dish and bake it.
During the cooking process, the batter ‘magically’ separates into three layers, a caramel-ly crisp coconut top, a custardy middle and a pie crust!
I never thought I'd be so impressed. I just prepared this as a back up dessert for a dinner partly and mostly cos I have all the ingredients in the pantry. This recipe is from Jo Seagar’s ‘You shouldn’t have gone to so much trouble darling…” Jo’s philosophy is minimum effort, maximum effect…which I can readily attest to what this recipe is about!!
I’ve modified the recipe somewhat...halving the sugar, using skim milk, reducing the butter slightly, adding some fruit and serving it in smaller portions.

the first picture shows the pie from a small heart shaped pan...


the second one is the pie in a 23 cm pie dish...i added some mango slices as well but it was a bit thin cos i didn't double the recipe...and the crust is not supposed to be so dark ok?? i left the pie too close to the grill element..
