Can I make it without Air Fryer Lid?

Yes of course, just follow simple steps from the recipe card till you prepare the cake pan with mixture.

  1. Set the trivet in an instant pot and add 3 cups of water.
  2. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it on the trivet.
  3. Cover with the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  4. Wait for a natural pressure release.
  5. Cover with whipped cream and serve 🙂

Should I cover the pan with foil before baking?

You really don't have to! I personally have stopped doing so since the day I realized how it slows down the cooking time.

Still, if you feel comfortable with that then do it.

What are the topping ideas?

Utilize some whipped cream for the toppings.

Or you can add cherry or strawberry on the top.

Can I use homemade cracker crumbs?

Of course, you can do that. As for me, I have used store-bought to save time.

How to serve

Lemons are so refreshing even when I think of lemons I can literally feel a refreshing breeze upon my face 😉

Serve this yummy cake as a dessert for the whole family after your family dinner.

Can I store leftovers

There is very little probability that you'd have any 😉

However, if you have got some then don't worry as cheesecake can keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
