Easy Instant Cheesecake Recipes

EASY INSTANT POT® CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Spray bottom of 7-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Make a foil sling by tearing off a 15x12-inch piece of heavy-duty foil. Fold foil in half lengthwise; fold again in half lengthwise to make a foil sling (15x3 inches). Set aside.
• In small bowl, mix Crust ingredients. Press mixture evenly in bottom and about 1 inch up side of pan. Place in freezer 10 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in flour, whipping cream and vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat just until blended (do not overmix). Pour mixture into pan, spreading evenly.
• Place Instant Pot® rack on bottom of insert; add 1 cup water. Place foil sling under filled cheesecake pan. Carefully lower pan into insert, holding sides of foil sling. Make sure sides of foil sling are sticking up alongside insert on both sides of pan.
• Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on High pressure 25 minutes. Select CANCEL. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release any remaining pressure. Cheesecake will be slightly risen in pan, with some dimpling on top. Cheesecake is done if middle is set, but slightly jiggly. (If cheesecake center doesn't appear done after initial cook time, secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on High pressure 5 minutes. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.)
• With foil sling, carefully remove pan from insert. With paper towel, carefully pat dry any standing water that may be on top of cheesecake. Cool 1 hour on cooling rack; carefully run a sharp knife around edge of cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, remove side of pan, and cut into wedges.

EASY INSTANT POT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the three crust ingredients. Pour the mixture into a 7-inch Instant Pot springform pan. Use a measuring cup or flat bottom glass to press the mixture on the bottom of the pan and about ½ way up the sides; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup sugar together with an electric mixer until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then beat just until combined. Be sure to avoid over mixing the cheesecake batter.
• Add the sour cream and flour and mix just until combined. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly into the springform pan over the prepared crust.
• Set the stainless-steel insert into your Instant Pot. Add 1 ½ cups of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Carefully lower the cheesecake down into the Instant Pot and set on the stainless-steel insert. The water should not be deep enough to reach the bottom of the springform pan.
• Close the lid of your Instant Pot and be sure the valve is set to "sealing." Set to "high pressure" and manually adjust the cook time to 30 minutes. The Instant Pot will heat up and then cook the cheesecake for 30 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally.
• When the pressure valve has dropped, carefully open the lid of your Instant Pot and lift the cheesecake out. If any condensation has formed on the top of the cheesecake, very gently blot it away with a paper towel.
• Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to release it from the sides of the pan.
• Refrigerate the cheesecake for 3-4 hours, or overnight until fully chilled.
• Remove the side of the springform pan, then slice and serve the cheesecake with the topping of your choice.
