How to Make Instant Pot New York Cheesecake?

Step One: Prepare your crust by placing the oreo cookies in a food processor. Prepare a 6” springform pan with nonstick spray, and dump the oreo biscuit crumbs into the pan and pack down. Place in the freezer until you are finished with the filling.

Step Two: Cream together the cream cheese for 6-8 minutes. Add in the sugar one tablespoon at a time and combine completely. Add in the sour cream and mix well. Add in the eggs one at a time making sure to completely combine before adding the next. Incorporate the eggs well in the cheesecake batter .

Step Three: Pour the cheesecake batter in the prepared springform pan. Now the crust and batter are in the springform cake tin, cover with aluminium foil. Prepare your pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and place the trivet in the bottom of the pot. Place the pan on the trivet. Set pressure cooker to 35 minutes high pressure and allow the pot to naturally release.

Step Four: Take the cheesecake out and let it sit on the counter until cooled. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours overnight. You should find your cheesecake has set and it should have a slight wobble. Once the cheesecake is completely cool you can top it with a chocolate ganache and Snickers candy pieces.

To Make Ganache
Place ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add in ½ cup heavy whipping cream and place in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and allow to stand for about 5 minutes and then mix. Make sure there are no lumps.
Variations
- Cheesecake Base: If you don't wish to use oreo cookies for the cheesecake base, you can use graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. This will make a great graham cracker crust for your cheesecake.
- Cheesecake Toppings: You can add a variety of toppings to your New York style cheesecake from lemon zest to fresh fruit to chocolate candy.
- Lemon Juice: Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to this cheesecake for a lemon twist.

FAQ'S
The benefits of using an Instant Pot to make cheesecake are that the pot will cook the cake evenly and quickly. It will also keep the cake moist.
Yes! You can use a regular cheesecake pan in an instant pot. Just make sure that the pan is big enough to fit in the pot and that it has a tight-fitting lid.
Yes! You can use other cookies to make the crust. A popular choice are digestive biscuits. Just make sure that they are finely ground when creating your crumb mixture.
Baking cheesecakes can be tricky and often they will crack, especially around the edges. There are a few things you can do to prevent this from happening. First, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing them together.
If your Instant Pot cheesecake is runny, it may be because you didn’t cook it long enough. The cheesecake should be cooked for at least 35-40 minutes in the Instant Pot. If it is still runny after that, you can put it back in for another 8-10 minutes.
