Instant Pot Christmas Swirl Cheesecake

Instant Pot Christmas Swirl Cheesecake is the perfect cheesecake to serve at your Holiday festivities. It is creamy and loaded with a creamy flavor. It is amazingly easy when cooked in a pressure cooker.

If you have not used the Instant Pot to make desserts, you are really missing out. All of the cheesecakes come out amazing. Although this dessert is called Christmas it is fabulous anytime of the year.

I really think it looks really festive, with the swirls of red and white. It would make an amazing Valentine’s Day Dessert as well.
