Your Key Ingredient:

NESCO 6 Qt. Pressure Cooker

Grocery Ingredients:

Crust
1 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
2 Tbsp butter, melted
Mix 1 cup cookie crumbs and butter together. Press in bottom of 7″ springform pan. Set aside.

Filling
1 cup water
2 eggs
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
2/3 cup sugar

(Variation: Add 1 tsp instant coffee to melted chocolate chips for a mocha cheesecake.)

Instructions:

  1. Blend cream cheese in bowl with mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Adding one egg at a time, mix until cheese is smooth.
