Instant Pot Cheesecake


I love to relax on my patio.  Please join me for the most delicious cheesecake from my Instant Pot!  I really couldn't believe how easy, and creamy it was.  Also, it's a much smaller size and perfect for smaller families. 

My Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers is a favorite teacup of mine.

This cheesecake fits perfectly on a smaller size pedestal cake stand



 My sweet granddaughter, Ella, celebrated her 9th birthday, and I took her out to eat and shopping at Bath and Body, which is a favorite store of hers.  We had such a fun time, and she was as thoughtful and thankful as ever.  

 

 These two little cuties came and spent the night with me.  Their mom brought them these cheerleading outfits from her alma mater.

Instant Pot Cheesecake

I adapted this recipe from Delish.com, and wow, is it ever creamy and fabulous! If you haven't tried cheesecake in your instant pot, you might want to give it a try. Using a 7" springform pan makes for a much smaller version, and perfect for a smaller crowd. I don't think I'll ever bake a cheesecake in the oven again,

ingredients:

  • For the crust:
  • Cooking spray, for pan
  • 1 cup graham crackers crumbs (I used vanilla wafer crumbs)
  • 3 tbsp. butter, melted
  • pinch of salt
  • For the cheesecake:
  • 16 oz. (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened (I used Neufchatel)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used vanilla bean paste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature

instructions:

How to cook Instant Pot Cheesecake

  1. Make crust: Grease a 7" springform pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs), melted butter, and salt and mix until mixture is the texture of wet sand. Spread evenly in the bottom and up the side of the pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  2. Make cheesecake: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, sugars, sour cream and flour until light and fluffy. Add vanilla bean paste (or vanilla) and salt and beat until combined. Add eggs, one at time, and beat until just blended. Don’t over mix. Pour batter into springform pan on top of crust.
  3. Pour 1½ cups water into Instant Pot and place trivet in the bottom. Fold a large piece of foil (about 18”) into thirds to make a long “sling,” and lower it into the pot. Put the springform pan on top and fold the sling.
  4. Lock the lid in place and select High Pressure. Set timer for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Remove the cheesecake from the pot using the sling and place on a wire rack to cool for at least an hour.
  5. Cover springform pan with foil and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Garnish with fresh berries, if desired.

  2. So glad that it is good! (I watched way too much QVC yesterday so I now have the day’s special heading my way...an InstaPot. I reasoned that it could become a Christmas gift.😏) Your granddaughters are adorable. Happy Birthday to Miss Nine and the cheerleaders are cute as can be.

  5. Happy birthday to your granddaughter, Ella, shopping and making memories with daughters and granddaughters is so much fun,Kitty, .
    I love cheesecake and yours looks so delicious.
    I have been looking at getting an instant pot, may I ask how you like yours and if so what brand did you buy, there is quite a difference in price range.
    have a blessed week.

  11. Love the idea of using your instant pot for cheesecake! I haven't branched out and bought one, nor have I bought an air fryer. The more recipes I see, especially from trusted cooks and bakers, the more enticing the tools seem. I love cheesecake.
    Your girls are all so adorable, Kitty! I love how you commented on Ella being thoughtful and thankful. She must be being raised well, and what a joy to be around. A Happy Birthday to her. Cute little Longhorns you've got there, too!

I'm wild about cheesecake, but like you, don't want to have all that big pie sitting around tempting me for a week! =) Great pics of your sweet girls...so glad you got to spend some time together.

  14. Ooohhh...I love the teacup too! I have yet to get an instant pot but I have heard wonderful things about them. Since I'll be cramming everything I can into a 31' travel trailer very soon, I doubt that will be a purchase I make until we get our home built. The cheese cake looks so decadent and rich! I know you surely cherish the time you spend with those darling grands of yours! Enjoy the rest of your week....hugs!

  18. Kitty, that looks lovely. I have a little 8-inch diameter glass pedestal cake stand I use for my 7-inch cheesecakes and cakes. Whether baking in the oven or the Instant Pot, I like that size cake. Your patio looks so refreshing; would love to join you there for a tiny slice of cheesecake and cup of tea in your lovely JB Rose Chintz!

  19. I love those cuties and the most delicious thing for us grandmothers is to sleep with the little ones... and with a cheesecake as good as that one looks, well...
    Happy birthday to the 9 year old beauty.
    Thank you for popping in to visit.
    Hugs,
    Fabby
