Impossible Coconut Pie for 1

Sweet little snack for 1! Great for portion control. I never had an Impossible Coconut Pie so I decided to go through my first batch of non picture posts and start testing those recipes out. One obstacle is finding a reasonable egg substitute. Some have very unorthodox egg measurements for a small batch recipe so I will have to figure that out. This was the first easy recipe I saw. Made with this 10 oz square ceramic . Enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons flaked coconut
2 tablespoons applesauce (see notes)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons margarine (see notes)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Mix milk, coconut, eggs, vanilla, flour, margarine, and sugar in blender. 

3. Pour into a greased, single-serving custard dish. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. 

4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Allow to cool before eating. 

NOTES: 

Applesauce is the substitute for 1/2 an egg. Rather than trying to half an egg and wondering wtf to do with the other half, I opted for the applesauce sub. 

Never used margarine so I used salted butter because that is what I have. There's only tbsp measurements so to the skilled baker 3 teaspoons is equal to 1 tbsp so I cut into a butter stick just shy of 1 tbsp. Aim for 2/3 of a tbsp.

I accidentally stirred in the nutmeg rather than using as topping. Oversight on my part. 

I baked in the oven for 30 minutes then turned off oven and let it sit in there for 5 minutes.

Result? Despite the changes, I think it turned out wonderful! Next time I recommend baking the entire time if you don't want pudding texture (which I loved) Keep in mind that this is called a PIE. What I ate was no pie but it sure was yummy as hell.

Flour Tortillas (6 tortillas) TWO WAYS

Ya crazy if you think there's a recipe for a single tortilla! It's preferable to use lard or shortening rather than butter. It's not the end of the world if you don't have it. Butter will suffice. Don't let the food snobs get your goat. This recipe makes 6 tortillas which is half of a dozen. Perfect for making some quesadillas, tacos or just snacking just by itself!  1 cup flour 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/8 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp butter room temp 6 TBSP HOT water (as much as you can stand) Add flour, salt and baking powder in bowl and mix. Add room temperature butter and crush with your fingers until pea sized Little at a time add water to incorporate it until it forms a ball. Kneed on flat surface about 5 minutes. Place dough in bowl with a hot towel covered not touching dough. Rest 30 minutes. Form 6 balls. Preheat pan. Roll tortillas with a rolling pin with small amounts of flour if needed.

Small Batch Strawberry Paletas

Image
You could say I am on a strawberry roll lately. Who cares?! Here is a bomb ass small batch recipe for strawberry paletas. It's mexican ice cream. I used to LOVE these in high school where they usually get sold from a variety of flavors for only $1. Times have changed so I imagine it's double the price now lol. Mexican ice cream has cream based and water based varieties (think cucumber and lime).  I used a cheapo ice popsicle mold that holds 1/4 cup per mold. This small recipe ended up yielding me 7 paletas. I got the mold at a yard sale but if I had to guess, these probably came from Dollar Tree due to how small it is BUT who says that's a bad thing? I honestly prefer the smaller size for portion control.  I'll test other flavors so be sure to check the paletas tag at the bottom of this post in the coming months. Ingredients: 4 oz strawberries 3/4 cup milk  1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup heavy cream Directions: Goes without saying but rinse and core all your strawbe...
