Today it's going to be a whopping 107 in Austin, Texas! I'm at that point of summer where it's so hot that I nearly want it to be over, but I'm also not quite ready to end the freedom with the onslaught of another school year for my daughter. Let's face it, there is just something about waking up in the morning naturally and having absolutely nothing on the schedule that's required to be done that day.

So, while it's literally as hot as hell in Texas... That doesn't stop me from wanting the things that I can't have. Or dare not have, anyway. Things that generally require the oven. Things like... cheesecake. Here we have a no-bake cheesecake that still manages to be cooked!

Don't let the idea of a cheesecake scare you. The idea of cheesecake more than scares me. There is SO many things that could go wrong with a cheesecake. And by cooking this one in the pressure cooker, we're eliminating a great deal of those complications while also lowering the sugar, the carbs, and the hassle.

First of all, we're lowering the carbs of this cheesecake right off the bat by making it a crustless cheesecake. We don't need it. So, we're skipping it all together. And I promise, you won't miss it at all! We're also lowering the sugar and flavoring this dessert with fresh citrus zest and a sweetened sour cream topping that you won't want to skip!

This cheesecake is rather easy to make. The hardest part about it is preparing the pan ahead of adding the cheesecake batter to it. And, if you've ever made a cheesecake before, this is pretty much a lot of the same in that regard.

The only thing that I found needed to be added to this cheesecake at the end was a few fresh blueberries. But, any fresh fruit would be just as good with it!
