Turn into the prepared pan and turn to dust
the sides of the pan. Press the remainder
onto the bottom of the pan. Reserve.
Place cream cheese and sugar in the work
bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal
"s" blade. Process until smooth, about 15
to 20 seconds. Add the eggs, lemon zest,
lemon juice, and vanilla. Process for 10
seconds. Scrape down the bowl and process
for another 5 seconds. (Alternatively, the
cheesecake batter can be combined using a
hand mixer on low speed – take care not to
incorporate too much air, which will cause
cracking.) Pour the batter into the prepared
pan. Place the rack/trivet in the cooking pot
and add 2 cups (500 ml) of water.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil about 24 inches
(61 cm) long. Fold in half lengthwise, then
fold in half again two more times to create a
strip about 24 inches (61 cm) in length and 2
inches (5 cm) wide to make a "cradle." Place
on counter and set filled springform pan in
the centre. Cover cheesecake with a piece
of buttered aluminum foil – making the sides
tight, but allowing room for the cheesecake
to expand. Bring the ends of the cradle strip
upward. Use the cradle to help lower the
cheesecake into the cooking pot and place
on the trivet.
Cover and lock lid in place. Select High
Pressure and set timer for 8 minutes. When
audible beep sounds, use natural pressure
release to release pressure. Remove
cheesecake from the cooking pot using the
foil strips to lift up. Place on a cooling rack.
Remove foil and plastic wrap. If moisture
has accumulated on the top, dab gently with
a paper towel to remove. Let cool to room
temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
Before serving remove from springform pan
and garnish if desired.
