Yom Kippur Recipe: Impossible Pie From Cooking Well Done

A kosher twist on a delicious dessert.

“It’s my personal challenge to tackle recipes that are not kosher and make them kosher friendly for the home cook,” says Laurie Pearlman of Cooking Well Done, the kosher cooking school she runs with Maureen Berkman. (You may remember their Carrot Apple Pudding recipe we recently posted for Rosh Hashanah).

We asked the duo for another kosher recipe, this time for Yom Kippur. Pearlman delivered with “impossible pie,” which, despite the name, is a “very easy dessert to make for Yom Kippur,” she says.
