When I first got my electric pressure cooker, I bought every accessory available at the time for it. I have loved using it to make a variety of dishes including desserts! This is a simple, quick to put together cheesecake. The sauce isn't too sweet which is nice with this cheesecake, but you can make it sweeter to your taste preference. This cheesecake never lasts long in our house!
