Pressure Cooker White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
There are quite a few steps to this one, but nothing to difficult. It is a little time consuming so don’t think you can throw this treat together in short order. As with all cheesecake there is a cooling, set period after cooking. The pressure cooker does speed up the baking part. You can use milk chocolate and regular Reese’s cups if you prefer.
Dessert is the best way to finish off a great meal. At least I think so!!
