Coconut Custard Pie

Submitted by Rogue7

"This was came from a Food and Wine magazine. Titled "impossible" pie and was Jennifer Nettles' great-grandmother, Mildred's recipe. It is called impossible because it makes it's own crust. It's too sweet for me so I cut down on the sugar. The recipe has not been altered from the original. It's really yummy if you like coconut and egg custard. Enjoy! :)"

• 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing

2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar. Add the eggs and beat until smooth.
