fitted with the chopping blade (this can also
be done with an electric hand or stand mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on a
low speed, being careful not to incorporate too
much air into the batter). Process until smooth,
about 15 to 20 seconds. Add the eggs, key
lime juice, and vanilla extract. Process until
combined, about 10 seconds. Scrape down
the bowl and process for another 5 seconds.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Cover
cheesecake with a piece of aluminum foil that
has been brushed with butter or sprayed with
nonstick cooking spray. Make the sides tight,
but allow room for the cheesecake to expand.
4. Put the rack into the cooking pot of the
Cuisinart
Pressure Cooker with 2 cups of
®
water. Cut a piece of aluminum foil that is
about 24 inches long. Fold in half lengthwise,
then fold in half again two more times to
create a strip about 24 inches in length and 2
inches wide to make a "cradle." Put the filled
springform pan in the center of the foil strip
and then carefully lift and transfer to the pot.
5. Put the filled springform pan onto the rack.
Secure the lid and select Low Pressure. Set
the time for 15 minutes. When the audible
beep sounds, allow pressure to release
naturally.
6. When the pressure is released completely, the
red indicator will drop. Remove lid. Carefully
lift the springform pan out of the pressure
cooker foil cradle. 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 to fully chill. Before serving, remove
from springform pan.
