Pumpkin Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups Gingersnap Cookies, approx. 30 cookies
• 3 Tbsp Butter, melted
• 2 packages Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• ¾ cup Canned Pumpkin
• 1 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
• 2 Tbsp Whipping Cream
• 2 each Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Whipped Cream Optional

Instructions:

• Spray a 7-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside
• Add gingersnaps to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed.
• Add butter a little at a time pulsing after each addition until butter is evenly incorporated into the crumbs and spread evenly into the prepared springform pan.
• Firmly press the crumbs into the pan to form a crust, starting in the center, working toward the edges and bringing a little up the sides of the pan.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and the sugar until smooth.
• Add the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, flour and the whipping cream, beat until well blended.
• Add the vanilla and the eggs, beat just until combined, being careful not to overbeat the eggs and pour into the prepared crust.
• Add 2 cups water to the Crockpot™ Express Crock Multi-Cooker. Place the steaming rack into the pressure cooker.
• Fold a 2-foot-long piece of foil over about 3 times lengthwise to create a sling and set the pan onto the center of the sling, very carefully lifting into the pressure cooker.
• Put on the lid making sure it is in the lock position and set the valve to the seal position.
• The cheesecake needs to be cooked on high pressure for 20 minutes with a 15-minute natural release.
• You can press the dessert button, adjust the pressure to high, and set the time to 20 minutes. Press start.
• After the 20 minutes, allow the pot to natural release for an additional 15 minutes and release any remaining pressure with the steam release valve.
• Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pressure cooker.
• Allow to cool for at least an hour, refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight and top with whipped cream, optional.
