    Instant Pot Cheesecake is the best creamy and irresistible vanilla cheesecake with cherry pie topping. Perfectly cooked in the pressure cooker!

    Instant Pot can be used to make delicious desserts! This cheesecake is my favorite, but the Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes are amazing too. Cheesecake fans will love my Caramel Apple Cheesecake.

    One of my favorite and most impressive things to make in the Instant Pot pressure cooker is definitely cheesecake. You see, cheesecake is my thing. It's our favorite dessert and over the years, I perfected my go-to recipe. Even my crust is perfect. It doesn't crumble and fall apart. The fact that I can make an absolutely perfect creamy and light cheesecake in my IP, blows my mind every time.

    This Instant Pot Cheesecake is so easy to make, you don't need any special tricks to make it, each slice is tall and creamy and the whole thing is gorgeous topped with cherry pie filling. My fail-proof crust lets you lift the whole cheesecake off the pan!

    Ingredients:

    • graham crackers
    • butter
    • granulated sugar
    • 16 oz. cream cheese
    • eggs
    • flour
    • sour cream
    • vanilla extract
    • pie filling for topping (I used cherry)

    Kitchen tools needed:

    • Instant Pot (I used my 6 qt Ultra)
    • trivet (it comes with your Instant Pot)
    • 7" springform pan
    • hand mixer
    • mixing bowls
    • spatula

    Instructions:

    • Start with the crust. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, then press it down and up the sides of your springform pan. Place the pan with crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
    • To make the filling: combine all ingredients to make a smooth batter. Pour over prepared crust and smooth out the top.
    • Place trivet in your IP, add 1.5 cups of water and place the pan with cheesecake on a trivet.
    • Close the IP, set the valve to "sealing" position and press the "manual" setting. Set timer to 30 minutes.
    • Once the timer is done, let the IP release the pressure naturally.
    • Carefully open the lid and let the remaining steam escape. Use a paper towel to gently blot the surface of the cheesecake from any additional condensation.
    • Cool the cheesecake completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
    • Top with filling before serving.

    Storing:

    Any leftovers should be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

    What size springform pan fits in the Instant Pot?

    The pan size depends on the size of your Instant Pot.

    • If you have a 6qt Instant Pot, you will need a 7" round springform pan.
    • If you have 8qt Instant Pot, the standard 8" springform pan should fit.

    Best tips:

    • the crust - My crust recipe is fail-proof and is important for a beautiful cheesecake as a base for each slice. You can prebake it or freeze it for 10 minutes, while you are making the batter.
    • add flour and sour cream - Both ingredients are important for the best texture of the cheesecake. It will be creamy, light and won't underbake.
    • removing condensation from the surface - Baking cheesecake in the IP involves steam so you will have condensation build up on the surface of the cheesecake. You can cover it with aluminum foil before cooking, but I like to avoid using foil. All you need is a paper towel and gently blot the surface of cooked cheesecake to absorb the moisture.
    • cooling before chilling - It is very important to cool the cheesecake completely after baking. Then place it in the fridge to chill. The cheesecake will be best if you let it chill overnight. Plan ahead!

    Flavors and toppings ideas:

    • pie fillings: You can use any pie filling you like to customize this recipe. I used cherry pie filling.
    • fresh fruit
    • caramel sauce
    • sour cream mixed with granulated sugar and vanilla extract
    • sauteed apples with caramel sauce
    • chocolate ganache
    • add 2 oz. of chocolate (melted) to the batter for a chocolate cheesecake
    • swirl caramel sauce in the batter before pressure cooking
    • add lemon zest for lemon cheesecake, and top it with fresh blueberries or blueberrie pie filling
    • use any cookies you like to make the crust (Oreos, gingersnaps, etc.)

    Ingredients
     
     

    for the crust:

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

    for the cheesecake:

    • 16 oz. cream cheese softened (see note)
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 4 tablespoons sour cream
    • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1.5 cup cherry pie filling

    Instructions
     

    • Make sure the stainless steel insert is in your IP. Set trivet inside, add 1.5 cups of water to the bottom of the insert.
    • To make the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir with a fork. Sprinkle on the bottom of the 7" springform pan. Use a flat-bottom glass to press the crust onto the bottom and up the sides. Not all the way, but about ¾ up the sides of the pan. Place pan with crust in the freezer while you make the batter.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar and mix well.
    • Add eggs and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
    • Add flour and sour cream to batter and mix just until combined. Add vanilla and stir in with a spatula.
    • Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Place pan carefully on the trivet in your Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the valve to "sealing" position. If you have a newer version of the Instant Pot, you don't have to do that since the lid does it as you close it.
    • Make sure your IP is set to cook on high pressure. Press "manual" setting and set timer to 30 minutes. The IP will beep after a few seconds and it will start cooking.
    • Once the timer is up, do not release pressure but let it release naturally. When the valve dropped, carefully open the lid away from your face and let any remaining steam escape. Using a paper towel, gently blot the surface of your cheesecake from any built up condensation. Let cheesecake cool for 5 minutes, then remove carefully from the IP.
    • Let the cheesecake cool completely, then place in fridge to chill for at least 4 hours, to overnight.
    • Top cheesecake with pie filling before serving. To cut perfect slices, clean the knife after each cut.

    Notes

    1. To make the cheesecake, you need 16 oz. of cream cheese. That is 2 8oz. packages. Make sure they are softened very well.
    2. Use a long sharp knife (like chef's knife or utility knife) to loosen up the crust from pan, then gently slide it onto a serving plate or a cake stand.
    3. The leakproof pans do not have a rim around and it helps to lift the cheesecake. See my post for a product recommendation.
    4. The cheesecake is not too sweet and it pairs perfectly with a rich topping. Keep that in mind.
    5. Since some readers said it does not have enough flavor by itself (without topping), I increased the amount of vanilla in the recipe from 1 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons. 
    6. Please note, that the nutrition value can vary depending on what product you use. The information below is an estimate. Always use calorie counter you are familiar with.

      Hello, I'm a single 65 yr old man looking forward to making this in a few weeks. I have a question about the stainless steel inner pot, mine is non stick. Will it be alright to use this instead? I'm relatively new at instant pot, but not a newbie, I've had your recipe bookmark for a while, and decided to give it a try, thank you for all the detailed instructions. I'll let you know how it turns out.

      I tried this recipe this morning, I used Splenda instead of regular sugar and found it sweet enough, my son doesn’t like a topping on his cheese cake so I’ll just sprinkle some Graham Cracker crumbs on top. It was quick and easy and I will make it again. We both love Cheese Cake so it will NOT last the four hour chilling period . FYI I always use a Spring form pan that has the clip on the side for easy release.

        I made this yesterday. Used almond flour, splenda, and omitted the crust, making it lower carb. It holds together without the crust. Thank you for this delicious recipe. No topping needed, but could use low sugar jam.

      I've made easily about 15 cheesecakes using this recipe. They ALWAYS turn out perfectly. I've also adjusted it to make an Oreo cheesecake that my son loves. Do you have a recipe for Turtle cheesecake by any chance? I've had a request to make one for friends.

        If I was to make the Turtle version, I would add chopped pecans to the crust and after baking, drizzled it with ganache and caramel sauce, then top with chopped pecans. I hope this helps!

      Very good cheesecake and super easy. Nice flavor and smooth. I thought it was a little bit too "firm" though. I wanted it a bit softer on the fork - do you think removing some flour would with this issue? It's my first time making cheesecake, so I'm not sure what the right solution is.

        Hi Brenda! What did you top the cheesecake with? I used cherry topping so it was a great balance of flavors. If you are not using a topping, increase the vanilla extract to 2 teaspoons.

          I think I over mixed. The middle was a nice silky smooth texture but the outside was dense and tough. I could have left it too long after natural release also...either way...flavors were on point and I will give it another try.

      Followed the recipe exactly in a 7-inch springform pan and it turned out wonderful! I added a small disc of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. The cheesescake pulled away from the sides a little while chilling so there were no problems removing it from the pan. It was a great Easter Sunday dessert-my mom would have been proud!

        Yes, that happened to me today. It was in there for about 20 minutes and then said burn before the timer even started. I took it out, let it cool and put it in the fridge. Not sure why that happened. I'm sure it probably isn't done but I will see in the morning.

      This was my first IP cheesecake. It was really good. I used sugar substituted sugar and it was still tasty.
      Since it was my first I followed the recipe steps and was surprised the texture was good. The crust was a bit soft but did not fall apart.

        My first time making this cheesecake. The picture makes it look like a nice high cheesecake like ya get in a store. So little 😔oh well. I just hope it tastes good. Picture shows nice thick and a nice high crust. My crust wouldn't spread up sides nowhere near that nice and high. Will let ya know how it turned out tonight. Looks nice

        My cheesecake turned out on the better side of ok. I feel it lacked something in flavor and there definitely was not enough crust. I think i would of needed 50% more of the crust ingredients to mimic the outcome of the picture you used.
        The texture of the cheesecake also seemed more like extra thick jello and not like traditional cheesecake. Is this perhaps a result of too much mixing or flour? Or is this just typical of an instant pot method?
        I will definitely try this again but tweak the crust ingredient amounts.
        Thank you.

          Hi Adria! If the cheesecake had a texture of jello that means you overmixed the batter. It is not typical for an Instant Pot cheesecake to have this texture. It should be ultra-creamy. The crust is personal preference but I assure you, what you see in the photo is what I used for the recipe. Also, if it lacked in flavor, maybe invest in better vanilla extract. Hope this helps!

        My crust turned out very soggy. I noticed another post that covering it while cooking resulted in undercooked cake. Is there a suggestion to keep the steam from saturating the crust. I thought using a silicone cover my help but maybe not? I would have liked more crust as shown too. I’ll increase the amount of crumbs next time. However, the cake itself was excellent! I’ve never made a cheesecake before (I didn’t even know it needed water to bake) and it turned out excellent!

      I made this cheesecake last night in my 8 qt instapot. I used a 9 inch springpan and followed directions and cook time exactly. The cheesecake wasn’t “fluffy” but more of a heavy texture. Question is, since it was a 9 inch pan I’m wondering if I should have cut down on the cooking time since it would have been thinner than it would have been in a 7 inch pan. Everyone said it was good lol the flavor was there but it was more of a rubbery cheesecake.
