Ingredients 

Cheesecake Ingredients:

  • 32 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulted sugar
  • 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 cup  graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Other:

  • 1 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Mix your cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, heavy cream, and sugar.
  • Divide the cheesecake mixture into two bowls.
  • In one of the bowls, add in your red velvet cake and red food coloring. Mix well
  • Prepare the crust, mixing the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter.
  • Add parchment paper to the bottom of your springform pan. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add half of the graham cracker mixture to the bottom of your springform pan mold. Push down to flatten the graham crackers with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  • Add your white cheesecake mixture to the top of your graham crackers about halfway of your springform pan. Then add about 1/4 cup of the red velvet cheesecake mixture to the middle of your cheesecake.
  • Add 1/4 cup of the white cheesecake mixture to the middle of your cheesecake
  • Continue alternating red and white filing until you have filled your springform pan mold. (For the second cheesecake, add the red velvet cheesecake mixture first, then ¼ cup white cheesecake, etc.)
  • Taking a toothpick, chopstick, or knife, starting from the center, move outward toward the pan creating straight lines. Once you have done this, start from the center and create a clockwise circle creating swirls moving toward the pan’s outside.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of your Instant Pot.
  • On the side, place your trivet on a flat surface. Place your cake pan on the trivet. Carefully transfer the trivet to the inside of the Instant Pot.
  • Close the lid on your Instant Pot and close the sealing valve.
  • Cook on High Pressure for 45 minutes. Once completed, allow a natural release for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the trivet inside the Pot using the trivet handles with hot pads or a towel.
  • Transfer and cool in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the fridge when ready to serve!
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
