Pressure Cooking Recipes-Dessert

Creamy Cheesecake

1 Tablespoon butter
4 Tablespoons bread crumbs
2-8 oz. pkgs. Cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 Tablespoons flour
6 Tablespoons sour cream
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 cups water
Butter a 7 inch spring form mold or other baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and set aside. In a bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar, cream, vanilla, lemon zest, flour and sour cream. Beat in the eggs and egg yolks and pour mixture into the baking dish. Center the uncovered pan on a piece of 24” long aluminum foil. Cover the top of the pan with another piece of foil and pinch around the edges to seal.

Create a handle by scrunching up the ends of the foil over the top of the pan. Set the trivet in the pressure cooker and pour in the water. Lower the foil covered pan into the pressure cooker and place on the trivet. Lock the lid into place and bring to pressure. Lower the heat and cook for 30 minutes at 15psi. Remove from heat and release pressure using the natural release method. Remove the pan from the pressure cooker using the foil handle. Loosen the foil and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Before serving, arrange fruit topping or fruit preserves in thick layer over the cheesecake. If using a spring form pan, release and remove the rim of the spring form pan.

Nutmeg Sprinkled Bananas

4 large ripe bananas, peeled
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Cup water
Place the bananas into a casserole dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar and nutmeg evenly over all the bananas. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Pour the water into the cooker and place the trivet into the cooker. Place the casserole dish onto the trivet. Bring the pressure to high and cook for 6 minutes. Slow release the pressure and serve warm.

Light and Creamy Strawberry Pudding

1/3 Cup sugar
2 Tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 Cup fresh strawberries, pureed
2 egg yolks, beaten
2/3 Cup milk
2 egg whites, beaten
Place the sugar, flour, salt and butter into a mixing bowl. Beat the mixture until well combined. Add in strawberry puree, egg yolks and milk and beat until incorporated together well. Fold in the egg whites until well combined. Spray 4 custard cups with a non stick cooking spray. Divide the strawberry pudding between the 4 prepared custard cups filling them 2/3 full. Securely cover each cup with foil and place on a trivet in the cooker. Bring the cooker to high pressure and cook 10 minutes. Release the pressure quickly under cool water. Covering the custard cups tightly with foil will keep condensation from forming and ruining your pudding. If you check your pudding by inserting a knife into the center and the pudding hasn't cooked through you can continue cooking at high pressure for 1 to 2 minutes or until done.
