“BAKING” A CHEESECAKE IN A PRESSURE COOKER

I know, I know, it sounds too good to be true, but I promise once you try making a cheesecake in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker you will never go back to the traditional way (or at least be hesitant).

Making cheesecakes in the Instant Pot is so easy and takes less time than the traditional oven method. It also reduces the risk of your cheesecake cracking since you are essentially steaming it, the environment will be very humid which will help prevent cracking in your cheesecake.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRADITIONAL BAKING AND INSTANT POT

The number one thing I notice that is different is the texture, and it is definitely a good thing! The cheesecake comes out super creamy and more, dare I say it?….moist… that baking in the oven.

The second big thing I notice is the cracking on top. Now, I have been known as the cheesecake queen, so I know a thing or two about baking cheesecakes and how to prevent cracking while baking a cheesecake (and not using a water bath), but the Instant Pot makes it so effortless and they turn out perfect every time!

TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE A PERFECT INSTANT POT CHEESECAKE

There is only ONE con that I have come across when baking a cheesecake in the Instant Pot and that is.. soggy crust. HOWEVER, I have cleverly found a solution for that as well!

1. You want to make sure that you wrap the entire springform pan in aluminum foil. If not the top, for sure the bottom so no extra moisture gets to the crust.

2. Freeze your crust before you add in the filling.

3. DO NOT OVER MIX THE EGGS. This is a big thing I have learned from my research that could lead to a weird texture to your cheesecake. When you add in the eggs mix JUST until the yolk disappears into the batter and stop.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE AN INSTANT POT OREO CHEESECAKE

CREAM CHEESE– Please use Philadelphia cream cheese, you CAN use off brand but it does not turn out nearly as good. Just trust me, splurge.

SUGAR– Obviously, there is no good dessert without sugar

FLOUR– The flour in this recipe acts a thickening agent. You can also use cornstarch.

VANILLA EXTRACT– Gives that nice hint of vanilla goodness. If you can, use the real stuff. It does make a difference.

HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM– I tend to think of this as my secret ingredient. It makes the cheesecake so creamy and delicious.

EGGS– Also a thickening agent, and helps bind everything together.

OREO COOKIES- A given

HOW TO MAKE AN INSTANT POT OREO CHEESECAKE

Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until you get a fine crumb, then add in the melted butter and pulse until combined. Pour into a 7″ springform pan (I use this one) and use your hand or the back of a spoon to pack into the bottom to form the crust. Pop in the freezer while you make the filling.

First cream the cream cheese either using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for 3-4 minutes or until nice and smooth.

Mix in the sugar and flour until combined.

Add the vanilla and heavy cream and mix on low speed until combined, then slowly increase to high for about 1 minute.

Mix in the eggs last, one at a time, and just until the yolks disappear into the batter.

Fold in 3/4 to 1 cup of Oreo Cookie crumbs after everything is mixed.

Pour into the prepared crust and tap gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Cover the pan completely with aluminum foil.

Pour one cup of water into your pressure cooker and place the trivet inside. Place the cheesecake on top of the trivet and set your cooker to high pressure for 35 minutes and allow to naturally release.

Remove the cheesecake from the pressure cooker CAREFULLY! Allow to cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Refrigerate over night.
