Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a 7 inch springform pan by coating it with a non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper, optional.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Whisk together butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and mix until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir just combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooking pot, and place the trivet in the bottom. Carefully center the filled pan on a foil sling** and lower it into the pressure cooking pot. Fold the foil sling down so that it doesn’t interfere with closing the lid.

Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the timer for 7 minutes. When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker. use a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, and then do a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure.

While brownie is cooking, prepare cheesecake batter. In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese and sugar at medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and mix just until blended; don’t over mix.

Pour batter on top of the brownie in the springform pan. (No need to remove the springform pan from the pressure cooker to add the batter.)

Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the timer for 25 minutes. When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker. use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, and then do a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure. When valve drops carefully remove lid. If necessary, use the corner of a paper towel to soak up any water on top of the cheesecake.

Remove the springform pan to a wire rack to cool. When cheesecake is cooled, refrigerate covered with plastic wrap for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve topped with cherry compote and grated chocolate.
