This festive version of the traditional impossible pie is studded with dried fruit that sinks and becomes part of the base, beneath the unctuous layer of white chocolate custard and coconut topping. - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

125g butter
100g white chocolate
4 eggs
2/3 cup caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 cups milk
1/2 cup dried fruit

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 26cm round ceramic pie dish.
Step 2

Melt butter and chocolate together in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Step 3

Using a stand mixer or hand-held beaters, beat eggs and sugar until pale. Add melted chocolate mixture and vanilla, and mix well. Add flour and coconut and stir well. Pour in milk and beat until just combined, then fold through dried fruit mixture.
Step 4

Pour into prepared dish. Bake for 50 minutes until set. The top will still be a little wobbly.
Step 5

Serve with whipped cream garnished with maraschino cherries and chopped pistachios.
