40-Minute Cheesecake using Cottage Cheese (No Instant Pot required!)

I have to admit something- despite owning two Instant Pots I have never made Instant Pot Cheesecake. Now this vintage recipe does not use a pressure cooker but it also does not use Cream Cheese- instead, it uses cottage cheese and evaporated milk. I’m actually tempted to make this but with Lent starting tomorrow and not going anywhere for the foreseeable future (thanks Covid) I’m not going to try it. Anyone out there up for the challenge?
