Instant Pot Cheesecake with Sour Cream Topping. A sweet layer of sour cream topping covers this simple pressure cooker cheesecake. I was asked by a commenter if I had a sour cream topping for cheesecake. I didn’t, but after a little research, I was able to find one that works with pressure cooker cheesecake. The problem with most sour cream toppings is they want you to cook them with the cheesecake…but only for the last 20 minutes or so that the cheesecake is in the oven.

It’s easy and just takes a few minutes to steam it in the Instant Pot / pressure cooker.  Cauliflower is really having its 15 minutes of fame. Cauliflower rice, cauliflower gnocchi…this vegetable is being transformed into all sorts of things. Frank and I were served a whole head of cauliflower in a rich butter sauce two years ago in Paris that inspired this Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Butter Caper Sauce. (That recipe was the most...
