Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate with 1 1/4-inch sides.
- Place all ingredients except topping in a blender container.
- Blend on high speed, stopping occasionally to stir, until smooth, about 3 minutes, or beat in a large bowl with electric mixer for 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Bake until puffed and center is dry, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before blending. If you don't have Bisquick, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour and baking powder (1 tsp per cup of flour). Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor. For a twist, consider incorporating a fruit puree into the batter for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Impossible Cheesecake plain, or top it with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added flair. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving alongside a slice of North Carolina Pound Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 5 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or enjoy it cold, as the texture remains delightful even when chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste. Just cover it tightly to prevent any absorption of odors from the fridge.
What should I do if my cheesecake cracks?
Cracking can occur if the cheesecake is baked too quickly or at too high a temperature. To prevent this, ensure your oven is calibrated correctly, and consider using a water bath for even baking. If cracks do happen, a simple dusting of powdered sugar can disguise them beautifully.
Can I freeze the Impossible Cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving for the best texture.
