(just put a piece of tin foil cut in a circle in the bottom of a circle glass form and slid a knife around the edge to get it out easy...but, again, she did not use a crust. Also, she did not grease the pan.) Allow the cake to cool in the oven, with the door propped slightly open for 3 hours. Chill.
