Instant Pot Strawberry Cheesecake–This might be the best thing I have ever made. This is a great and easy cheesecake with loads and loads of flavor and a snap to make in the Instant Pot.

Ingredients 

Crust:

  • 8 Graham Crackers
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted and unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup water

Topping:

  • 1 pound strawberries, divided
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Crust:

  • To make the crust, start by spraying your springform pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, ground cinnamon,  and melted butter. 
  • Then press the mixture into the prepared springform pan, press firmly, and cover about 1 inch along the side. 
  • Place into the freezer to firm up while you prepare the filling.

Filling:

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar, room temperature sour cream, lemon juice, flour, and vanilla. Use a whisk, and whisk until smooth.
  • Slowly fold in the eggs, mixing well after each egg.
  • Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Add the water to the Instant Pot bowl, add your trivet, and place the cheesecake on top of the trivet.
  • Place your lid onto the Instant Pot, and place the vent to sealing.
  • Set manual high pressure for 25 minutes. 
  • When the time is up, do a natural release.
  • When the pressure has all been released, remove the cheesecake and then place it into the refrigerator overnight.

Topping:

  • Add half of the strawberries, lemon juice, vanilla, and sugar to the Instant Pot bowl, then press the saute button.
  • Bring the strawberry mixture to a small simmer, simmer for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring, 
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water, making a cornstarch slurry. Add it to the strawberry mixture. Mix in the rest of the strawberries, pour the topping into a small bowl
  • Let the strawberry mixture cool. Once it’s cool, pour on top of the cheesecake.
