Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted

Filling

  • 24 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees/F.
  • Add graham crackers to a food processor until you get about 1 1/4 cups of crumbs. Add in the melted butter and pulse until combined.
  • Pour into the bottom of a greased 7″ springform pan and use your hand or the back of a spoon to press and form a crust bringing the crumbs up about 1 inch on the sides.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Filling

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese for 3-4 minutes or until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
  • Slowly pour in the sugar, flour, and lemon zest. Mix until just combined.
  • Add vanilla and heavy cream. Mix on low speed until combined. Slowly increase the speed to high for about 1 minute,
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and make sure there are no lumps. Give one final mix before adding the eggs.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix just until the yolk disappears into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared crust and gently tap the bottom of the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Cover the pan completely with aluminum foil. Add one cup of water into the inner pot of your Instant Pot and add in the trivet,
  • Place the cheesecake on top of the trivet and set your pot to high pressure for 50 minutes and allow to naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Once you can open the pot, remove the aluminum foil and allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
  • Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours but overnight is recommended.
  • Add your favorite toppings, serve and enjoy!
