Description

Ingredients

• 2 Blocks Cream Cheese, room temp (low fat NOT recommended)
• 2 Eggs, room temp
• 1/4 C. Sour Cream (low fat NOT recommended)
• 1/2 C. Granulated Sugar
• Juice of 1/2 Lime, squeezed
• 10 - 12 drops Lime Essential Oil (we use Young Living)*
• (the Essential Oil is NOT required to make this but is great if you have it!)
• 1 1/2 packs of Graham Crackers, finely crushed
• 4 tbsp Butter, melted (NOT margarine!)

Directions

• Make the crust first - by melting the butter and adding into the crushed graham crackers. Mix well and then push into a 7 Springform pan and work a little up the sides. Pop in the freezer until the filling is ready. In your KitchenAid, add the Cream Cheese, Eggs, Sugar, fresh Lime Juice, and Sour Cream - its incredibly important that the Cream Cheese and Eggs be at room temperature (if not your mixture will not whip up smooth!) Mix on high with the blender - until well blended and smooth. If using Essential Oils, add at this time and blend one last time - dont over mix! The mixture should be light and creamy. Pour the mixture into the cheesecake pan (from your freezer). Place 1 C. water in the Instant Pot and insert the trivet - the water should be enough to create steam but it shouldnt yet touch the trivet. Take an 18 piece of Tin Foil and fold the long way to make a sling - place that in the Instant Pot to act as a sling when your cheesecake is done.... since the trivet will be hot to touch and pull out. Then gently put the cheesecake in the Instant Pot on the sling - being careful not to touch the sling against the top of the cheesecake. Put the lid on - push Manual and 25 minutes, and let it cook. Once its done, quick release the steam and remove the cheesecake using the sling - let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes and then put in the fridge until cooled. Dont remove the Springform until its cooled and you are ready to serve. Add your Garnish - in this case, curled Lime and a little Ginger.
