Love love love cheesecake. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe on MM. Pinned and will be featuring this.
Wow! I can’t wait to try and make this! It sounds much easier than traditional cheesecake.
The ingredients say almond extract and the instructions say vanilla, can you clarify which it is? Also does the springform pan sit on the rack or the bottom of the the inner pot?
