The short answer is that it is possible, but relies on luck or great ability to time when to cut to ensure you have an adequate number of leaves emerge before the bunch does to fill the fruit. Without enough leaf surface area to provide carbohydrates to fill the fruits, you'll end up with small fruit or fruit that never fill. I have unintentionally done some experiments like this my yard.
So you cut the stem, and put in water or something? And it will continue to finish growing the fruit? That would be unbelievable (literally). Seriously?
