What is so impossible about Impossible Pie? When you make it you pour all of your ingredients into one bowl and mix them together. When it comes out of the oven it has a golden crust and a creamy centre. Impossible? Make one and find out for yourself – it’s as easy as pie.

Tip: One of our readers has suggested that her mother used to use duck eggs instead of chicken eggs, which makes the centre creamier. If you try it let us know how it goes in the comments below.
