After many failed attempts to give it another shot, I was finally able to try again last night. I was surprised the instructions just said to bake it, without reference to a water bath. But now I know, it's a cheese pie, not a cheesecake. Well, it was about 8:30p and I didn't want to turn on the oven so I attempted it in the Instant Pot.
Oopsie, I was pulling it out after the prescribed cooking time & depressurizing time. I DROPPED IT! Lucky, no mess on the counter, just inside the pot. The filling was watery and dumped half into the bath water. I poured it into a strainer & put that into a bowl. I was tired, so I just put everything in the fridge to deal with in the morning. Tastes a little too lemony, too much lemon rind, but otherwise as expected. Texture of what was left over the graham cracker crust is good, the part that I strained into a bowl was a bit soft. Okay, I'm going to try again today. Going to the store for a pre-formed graham cracker crust. I've got more lemons, about 8 more cream cheese blocks (from Auntie's fridge to my freezer). Going to do it in the oven this time.
