EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a Crowd-Size Impossibly Easy Grasshopper Cheesecake, double all ingredients and use a 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Bake 30 to 37 minutes.

You can substitute crème de menthe-flavored syrup for the 3 tablespoons crème de menthe, but the mint flavor will be a bit milder.

YES, the Bisquick is meant to go into the cheesecake mixture. There is no shell/crust needed because because of the Bisquick in the mixture (that's how all of the "Impossibly Easy" Bisquick recipes work). This is not your typical cheesecake, so the texture is a bit different. It's kind of a cross between a cheesecake and regular cake (similar to the texture of brownies). That being said, this was an excellent dessert that was really easy to make! My boyfriend (who is not big into desserts) really enjoyed it and even said he likes the texture. Just know that this is not a typical cheesecake recipe, so the results make not be what you typically expect of a cheesecake, but it is still very good.

The bisquick is intended to be in the recipe. I've made a recipe exactly like this many times (The only difference being the creme de minthe and chocolate chips)and it turns out wonderfully. The bisquick in the batter somewhat forms a crust and adds stability to the batter. I tried this recipe exactly and it was delicious.

This isn't meant to be rude, but there was a mistake in the writing of the recipe. The bisquick was supposed to use to make a shell for the cheesecake. Any doofus who actually put it in the cheesecake mixture...be sure to audition for next season's "Worst Cooks in America" on the food network. I made the cheesecake and it was excellent!
