Can I Make This a Keto Lemon Cheesecake?
It is actually very easy to turn this into a keto lemon cheesecake. Switch the traditional crust to an almond crust. Next, replace the sugar with Swerve or another sugar substitute and make your own lemon curd so that it is not sugar heavy like traditional lemon curd recipes.
How To Remove a Cheesecake From Instant Pot
The best way to remove a cheesecake from the Instant Pot is to make a foil sling before you put it in the Instant Pot. Using aluminum foil create a sling that you lay down on top of the trivet. Then once the cheesecake is done cooking, lift the foil and it brings the cheesecake pan to the top of the Instant Pot. This is the best way to take the cheesecake out of the pot.
