Ingredients
Crust:
1/2 cup oatmeal dry
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Filling:
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
2 eggs
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberries sliced
Instructions
Place the trivet in the pot and add 2 cups of water. Spray the inside of an oven safe round dish or springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Add oatmeal, 1 tbsp of honey, and melted butter to your food processor. Blend until the oats are chopped and a dough begins to form. Pour the crust mixture into the oiled pan and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. The bottom of a glass works well to pack the crust in.
Wash and dry your food processor, then add cottage cheese Greek yogurt, eggs, 3 tbsp of honey, rice flour, and vanilla extract. Blend the filling for 5 minutes until it is smooth. It will be slightly watery.
Pour your filling over the crust, and cover your pan tightly with aluminum foil. Carefully lower into your pot. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure release arm to sealing. Select Pressure cook (high) and set the cook time for 35 minutes.
When the cook time is complete, let your pressure release naturally. When the pressure valve drops, remove the lid and transfer your cheesecake to the fridge. Let it rest overnight.
When you are ready to serve, garnish with strawberries and cut into 6 equal slices.
