DIRECTIONS
1 Place all the crust ingredients in a large bowl and
mix until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to
the lined Ninja Multi-Purpose Pan* (or 8" round
baking pan) and press into an even layer on the
bottom and sides of the pan. Make the crust on
the bottom thicker than on the sides.
2 Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and
sugar and sugar in a large bowl and whip until
smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue
to mix until fully combined. If using a hand or
stand mixer, use a medium speed to avoid over-
beating the eggs. Pour the filling over the crust.
3 Add the berry sauce ingredients to the pot and
stir until evenly combined.
4 Place the pan on the bottom layer of the Deluxe
Reversible Rack in the lower position, then place
the rack in the pot. Close the lid and move slider
to STEAMCRISP.

and set time to 35 minutes. Press START/STOP
to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx.
20 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer
will start counting down).
6 When cooking is complete, the cheesecake will
still be jiggly in the center. Remove the rack with
the pan and allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours

with a wet knife, and serve with the berry sauce.
