Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 container (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/4 cup lemon yogurt
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 cup raisins or currants
1 cup water
Directions:
- In a small saucepan, melt butter and sugar, stir until well mixed. Add graham cracker crumbs. Press into the bottom of a well greased 7-inch springform pan.
- Combine ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
- Add yogurt, flour and lemon rind, mix until smooth. Stir in raisins or currants.
- Pour mixture into prepared springform pan. Cover the pan with a greased piece of foil, tightly fitting it around the edges so no moisture can get in.
- Cut a piece of foil 2 feet by 1 foot and double it twice lengthwise to create a strip for moving the pan in and out of the pressure cooker.
- In a 5-quart or larger pressure cooker, add water and insert trivet. Lower pan in place with foil strip.
- Close lid and bring pressure to second red ring over high heat. Adjust heat to stabilize pressure at second red ring. Cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use Natural Release Method.
- Remove pan, uncover and let cool. After cheesecake cools, run a knife around the edge of the pan and unlatch pan. Refrigerate 3 to 6 hours before serving.
