White Chocolate Lemon Cheesecake
Yesterday I set out to do a cheesecake in my pressure cooker. Unfortunately I did not check the size of my pan until after I’d assembled it. It was an inch to big so I had to bake it instead. This goes together pretty quickly and baked in about 45 minutes. It is creamy, dense and so perfect with strawberries.
Enjoy!
