Are you using 4 oz rampkins
Yes, they are 4 ounces!
Do you serve these warm or do you refrigerate them?
They are good either way, Joanne!
How many ramekins does it make, I’m guessing 6 or 8?
Hi Laura, it depends on the size of your ramekins but I think it would probably be 8-10.
If you are using ramekins, do you still bake them for 45 minutes or reduce the baking time?
Hi Victoria, the baking time will be less. Check them after 25 minutes and remove them from the oven when they're not wiggly!
THANK YOU! I made them last night. They were absolutely delicious!
Yay!
Love this recipe. I have made it twice. Each time I cut the recipe in half , but I still had 6 small ramekins.
Thanks for sharing your results, Mattie! I'm so happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Hi
Does it matter what type of sugar I use in this recipe please?
Hi Eileen, we use regular granulated sugar.
This recipe looks scrummy! Thanks for sharing it. Just wondering what a "stick" of butter is please? Not sure we have them in Australia! How many ounces of grams is it?
Hi Wendy, a stick of butter is 4 ounces or 113g. Hope that helps. Enjoy! Chris
Love that these are individual and you don't have to make a crust! Going to pin this so I don't forget about it!
What a fantastic recipe! We love coconut pie so I cannot wait to make these. I have just discovered your beautiful blog and I'm now your newest follower. I am looking forward to reading more. Thanks!
haha! what a name! "impossible pies"! this looks gorgeous, and anythign coconut is sure to taste amazing.
Frances, it is a lot of sugar - I think you could reduced the amount a bit and also substitute some honey or agave with good results.
I am aa sucker for anything coconut. I'm in the LOVE my husband is in the HATE department. I'll have to make this when people come over so I have some one to share them with. Do you know if there's a way to reduce the sugar or use a substitute? If not that's ok. Just curious.
OMG this looks amazing! Can't wait to give it a try!
Although I am not a great cook, I think I can do this! I love, love coconut and have a feeling this could be a new favorite!
I love the name of these sweet individual coconut pies, love an easy dessert idea;-)

I love coconut! This dessert would be perfect for a Mother's Day brunch we are planning! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I have always loved coconut but get tired of macaroons so this is a fantastic change. It's fun seeing recipes from Lindsay too. Thank her for being willing to share them with us! Looking forward to the pesto pizza.
Coconut is one of my favorites.
Lindsay,
I love coconut, and I have little ramekins, so I see coconut Impossible pie in my future! such an easy, but delicious little bite of sweetness.
oooohhhh yummy! I'm picturing these on one of my dessert tables. Will have to find tiny ramekins. Love this recipe. Thanks Lindsay and Chris.
Love these little pies. I love coconut and I can't wait to try these!
Claire, Lindsay says about 8-10 depending on the size of the ramekin.
O.M.G., I am in love with this dessert!! I have to make them tonight! I already have a coocnut treat up my sleeve, but I'll have to push it a side to make yours. It looks like a macaroon pie!!!
I love this pie and the individual ramekins are so cute:@)
Your son is lucky to have Lindsay!These impossible pies seem irresistible!
Have alovely day,dear Chris!
Lindsay I can't have any more of these easy delicious recipes before the wedding. I won't fit into my dress! I'll have to save this one for when I get back from my honeymoon in May.
How many mini versions does the recipe make?
I have never made this and it looks absolutely wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Oh, this sounds again so delicious! I like coconut, and I'm going to save this recipe. Thanks!
I have never heard of impossible pie...but I do love coconut and know that I will be giving these little pies a try!
Brilliant!! I'm with you on the coconut. Funny, I didn't like it at all till I turned about 40, then a girlfriend made a coconut cake for my bday and I had to be polite and eat some. It was awesome and I've been a convert ever since!!! Loving the idea of these beauties!!
Well I tend to think baking anything is impossible, but these look pretty easy!
By the way, I love this tablecloth...
This is absolutely beautiful, and so easy! I have made the impossible pies before, but all the Bisquick ones,this one looks more elegant and fresh! Maybe now I will like coconut in something other than Hostess Snoballs and Mallo Cups!
Oh I've made an impossible pie before! But it didn't look half as good as these, Chris! Thanks for sharing this with us... It looks beautiful!
