Instant Pot Cheesecake


So since I was a kid I’ve loved the tangy sweet delight that’s known as cheesecake. Mom used to make a cheesecake for the Octoberfest at TCCC, I was 8??? In any case I’ve always loved it but making it seemed a daunting and downright impossible task. Even Alton’s episode left me despondent that it was just downright too hard to make. Fast forward to the current. When I bought my instant pot, I got an accessory kit that had a steamer basket, egg holder, fridge magnets with times and oddly enough a spring form pan. I knew this was the tool for cheesecake but in an instant pot???

Turns out the answer is emphatically yes. The steam is the perfect way to cook cheesecake and the pressure doesn’t hurt either. I found this recipe which I’ll shamelessly copy for my food blog shortly. Give it a shot, it’s well worth the effort.
