Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot)-Vanilla Cheesecake

Cheesecake, cheesecake and more cheesecake. This is one of the BEST reasons to get an Instant Pot, we can all make easy cheesecakes, from Cherry, Chocolate, Oreo and so much more, and it only takes a fraction of the time that a regular cheesecake.

It is also one of the easiest items to make in an Instant Pot, it’s perfect for a beginner. All you really need is a 7-inch cake pan or springform pan.

This an easy and flavorful cheesecake recipe, it only needs the basic ingredients of any cheesecake, cream cheese, graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs, and you have a great and flavorful dessert.

If you are looking for a spin on this dessert, you could make it more like a New York Style Cheesecake, by adding more graham crackers on the sides and pressing them up the entire width of the sides of the cake pan, with graham crackers and melted butter. That would make for a truly grand cheesecake.

Remember you can change out the toppings, so add some cherry toppings, raspberry toppings, add some crushed Oreos into the batter, make this cheesecake anything you want.

I hope you and your family enjoy!

Start by using your mixer and beat the cream cheese in with the

sugar.  Blend it until it’s completely smooth.

Remember just keep on beating the cream cheese and sugar.

It’s coming nice and smooth.

The beautiful mixture, smooth and creamy.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. 

Continue to beat until nice and smooth, and it’s ready to be poured into the graham cracker shell.

I made (and forgot to take a picture) of grounding the graham crackers and melted butter into a bowl and then

press it into the lined cake pan.

Once you have the set crust pour the filing on top of it.

Place in the refrigerator overnight.
