Have you heard of the dessert phenomenon that’s been getting everyone talking? That’s right–we’re talking about crustless desserts. And no, we’re not just talking about throwing a pudding together. We’re talking actual pies and cheesecakes, fully forming on their own with nary a crust to lean on. Intrigued? So were we!
You may have heard of these crustless dessert recipes by an alternate name, like an “impossible pie.” Impossible pie and impossible cheesecake recipes form their own crust in the oven, sealing in all the contents without your typical pie crust. By eliminating the crust, you get to save money, save yourself the work, and save yourself unnecessary extra calories.
