CRUST..beause it has flour, it makes it's own crust. I have seen recipes 1/2 with crust and 1/2 without and I think it is because of the flour which make what I would call an Invisible Crust.

I would like to make this recipe, but there is no crust. How does this work? I am used to preparing cheesecakes with some sort of crust for the base. Any input from someone who has made this would be appreciated.
