Impossible Coconut Pie is delicious!

Cindy Garrick

Well, the SEC championship game has ended the season with a dilemma thanks to Auburn’s win over Florida. But that’s okay, because one of our Thomasville natives sort of put Auburn to the test too.

Katie Spinks went through round one and round two of the Miss Auburn competition. That is quite an accomplishment. Unfortunately Katie didn’t make it all the way to the finals but we are extremely proud of her. She is obviously a great representative for Clarke County.

Katie’s favorite recipe is Impossible Coconut Pie. I was able to get her recipe from her mom, Blanche Spinks, when I saw her at Alabama Wholesale. Dean and Blanche’s brother, Lawrence, always share their armchair coaching techniques when we go in on Mondays to pick up our store supplies.

It’s possible you’ll love Katie’s Impossible Coconut Pie too. Here’s her recipe!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put all the ingredients in the blender except 1/3 of the can of coconut. Blend these ingredients together for one minute on medium. Pour into greased 9” pie pan. Sprinkle the remaining coconut over the top of the pie. Cook for 40 minutes or until brown on top.
