This Easy Instant Pot Cheesecake is a delicious Instant Pot recipe to serve at a party or for the perfect night in. Just add your favorite toppings!
My son loves cheesecake. He is 16 years old now, and every year for his birthday he makes his own cheesecake with his aunt. This has been a tradition for the last few years now and it is really fun to see what topping combinations he comes up with.
We have had blueberry cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake and his favorite, peanut butter cup cheesecake. It is fun to see his enjoyment of baking and I especially love how easy an Instant Pot makes it to make the Perfect Instant Pot Cheesecake.
Plus, I love that I get to enjoy a slice for myself!
NOTE:
It is important in making a cheesecake that you make sure that you allow to fully cool and then place in the refrigerator overnight to fully cool and set. This will guarantee that you have the perfect cheesecake to serve to your guests.
The fun thing about cheesecakes are that there are so many delicious flavor combinations, so make sure and experiment with a different topping combo every time!

Tools you need to make Instant Pot Cheesecake
This is a very easy to make recipe and you don’t need very much to make it. If you use an Instant Pot regularly, you will probably find that you already have most of these ingredients on hand.
-
- Instant Pot (I recommend getting at least an 8qt Instant Pot. Smaller sizes are ok if you are only 1 or 2 people, but if you cook Instant Pot desserts or cook for a crowd then a larger size is better.)

- Instant Pot accessories ( If you are cooking with an Instant Pot a lot, I would recommend getting all of the accessories. I find that I use almost everything in this kit regularly. This includes a springform pan.)
- Mixing bowl

Hi, my name is Melissa! I live in Spanish Fork, Utah. I'm happily married to Rob, and together we have five wonderful kids. Our family loves to embark on adventures, often in our RV, exploring the great outdoors. I'm an avid reader and a big fan of Hallmark movies – they always have a way of lifting my spirits. Hiking is another passion of mine; there's nothing like the tranquility of nature. I have a sweet tooth for chocolate and a love for Mexican food, both of which make life a little more delicious. In my downtime, I enjoy playing games with my family, creating memories and sharing laughter. Life is an adventure, and I'm here to enjoy every moment of it!
