INSTANT POT® CHEESECAKE
Cheesecake? In a pressure cooker? You bet. A creamy cheesecake relies on beating lots of air into the batter before cooking it. It also requires steaming. When you bake a cheesecake in the oven, you also need to put a pot of hot water underneath the springform pan to ensure the top of the cheesecake does not crack. In an Instant Pot®, all you need is a little water and the trivet. The result is a decadent cheesecake with no fuss. Serve with fruit on top, such as ripe blackberries.

Steps:
- Pulse graham crackers, 2 teaspoons white sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor. Pour in melted butter; pulse until fine crumbs form. Pat the crust into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 6-inch springform pan. Put the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-low speed until aerated and creamy, about 4 minutes. Add 2/3 cup sugar and salt; mix for 4 minutes more. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest; mix batter for 1 minute more.
- Crack 1 egg into the batter; mix for 1 minute. Add remaining egg; mix for 1 minute more. Stir in the sour cream; mix until it has disappeared into the batter, about 1 minute. Pour into the crust-lined pan. Make a loose tent over the pan with aluminum foil.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot®; add the trivet. Lower the filled springform pan carefully into the Instant Pot®. Lock the lid into place.
- Choose the "Manual" setting; select high pressure. Set cook time for 40 minutes. When the timer goes off, allow pressure to naturally release for 18 minutes. Remove the lid. Check for doneness; edges should be set and the center should jiggle slightly when shaken.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Steps:
- Cut a piece of parchment into a square whose edges fit the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan; allow the corners to bend upwards, as they will help you remove the cheesecake. Coat the pan with nonstick spray and line with the parchment. Put 13 cookies and the salt in a food processor and pulse until the cookies are broken down into fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until completely combined (the texture will be similar to wet sand). Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan.
- Add the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla and eggs to the food processor. Process until completely smooth, opening the lid and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Crumble 5 cookies into the food processor and pulse until they are combined but not completely pulverized. Pour the mixture over the crust.
- Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil (about 1 1/2-feet long) and put the springform pan in the center. Wrap the foil tightly around the bottom of the pan, folding down the sides as needed so the top of the pan isn't covered.
- Pour 2 cups water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Invert the rack and position the springform pan so that it rests on the rack's feet, then pick up both sides of the rack and bring them up the sides of the pan. Carefully lower the rack into the pot. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- After the pressure cook cycle is complete, turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally for 25 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's guide for steam release and allow any residual steam to air out. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Carefully use the rack handle to lift out the cheesecake and set it over a cooling rack. Remove the foil from around the pan, then use paper towels to blot off any excess liquid from the top and sides of the cheesecake. Use a small offset spatula or the tip of a paring knife to loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the pan. Allow to sit at room temperature until mostly cooled, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the cheesecake and use a small offset spatula or the tip of a paring knife to again loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the pan. Remove the outer ring from the pan and set the cheesecake aside.
- Bring 3 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Set a medium heatproof bowl over the top, then add the chocolate and let melt, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup and let cool, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse the remaining 4 cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Set aside until ready to use.
- Set the chilled cheesecake on a serving plate or cake stand and pour the melted chocolate on top. Spread evenly with an offset spatula, allowing some of the excess to drip down the sides. Let the chocolate set for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the cookie crumbs in a crescent moon shape over the top of the cake (it's okay if some of the crumbs land on the platter). Let the chocolate set at room temperature, 1 hour, then serve.

INSTANT POT® NEW YORK RICOTTA CHEESECAKE
After experimenting for a while, we finally came up with a New York-style ricotta cheesecake that works perfectly in a 7-inch cheesecake pan that fits in an Instant Pot®. This recipe is great for a cheesecake that requires fewer ingredients, and a few people can enjoy it over a couple of days. It always tastes better on the second day. We have served it with cherries, raspberries, and strawberries on top, and whipped cream if we're feeling indulgent.

Steps:
- Coat a 7-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Place crushed cookies in the bottom and mix in melted butter until you have an even thickness of crust across the bottom. Cut parchment paper and place it around the rim, resting on top of the crust; this will help the cheesecake separate easily from the sides of the springform pan.
- Mix ricotta, cream cheese, and sugar together. Add cornstarch, vanilla, flour, sour cream, almond extract, and lemon extract. Mix well. Add eggs, one at a time. Mix until just combined; don't overmix. Pour cheesecake batter into the crust.
- Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot®. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Place the springform pan into the Instant Pot® on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid.
- Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 40 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then cover it and place it in the refrigerator to cool completely before serving.

Steps:
- For the cheesecake: Put the cookies and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until the cookies are broken down into fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until completely combined. The texture will be similar to wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 7-inch springform pan. Put the crust in the freezer while you make the filling.

- Tear off a piece of aluminum foil about 1 1/2 feet long and put the springform pan in the center. Wrap the foil around the pan, folding down the sides as needed so the top of the pan isn't covered. The aluminum foil should only be on the outside of the pan. Tear off a second piece of aluminum foil about 2 feet long and lay the foil in front of you with one of the longer sides closest to you. Folding it toward you (the long way), fold the foil in half once then fold once again to create a foil sling for the cheesecake.
- Pour 2 cups water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot® and insert the machine's trivet. Put the springform pan in the center of the foil sling, then pick up both sides of the sling, bringing them up the sides of the pan. Carefully lower the pan onto the trivet. Fold down the foil sling as needed so that it fits in the pot but does not touch the cheesecake. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook.

Steps:
- Crust: Spray a 7-inch springform pan with non stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix together the chocolate crackers, sugar and butter. Pour into prepared pan; press up the sides (about 1-inch) and the bottom. Place in the freezer while the filling is being made. For the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl add the cream cheese, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whip until the ingredients are combined and creamy. Add the sour cream, flour, vanilla and eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium until all ingredients are combined and creamy. Take the pan out of the freezer; pour filling over crust. Place pan in the center of a piece of foil; bring up the sides and cover but do not extend above the rim. Take another piece of foil (about 18-inches long), fold into thirds long wise. This strip will serve as a sling and make lifting the cheesecake out of the pot easier. Set the cheesecake in the center of the strip. Pour 2 cups water into the bottom of the Instant pot; place the rack that came with the pot in the bottom with the handles folded on top. Using the sling lower the cheesecake into the pot. Place the lid on top and secure. Plug in the pot, press manual and set cooking time for 30 minutes on high pressure. MAKE SURE THE VENT IS CLOSED Once the timer goes off use the quick release for the pressure. Lift cheesecake out of the pan and onto a wire cooling rack. NOTE: There might be some liquid that accumulated in the center of the cheesecake during the cooking process. If so, use a paper towel to soak up the liquid. Let cool ONE HOUR. Cover with foil and cool completely in refrigerator (at least 4 hours). For the Topping: Preheat oven to 300°. Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet. Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave safe bowl with cream. Cook on high 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stopping to stir a few times. When smooth stir in toasted coconut. Spoon coconut mixture on top of cheesecake. In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips. Pour chocolate into a zip top bag, snip the corner and drizzle over cheesecake. IMPORTANT----SERVING INSTRUCTIONS: If you don't plan on the serving the cheesecake as soon as the topping is added; I recommend at least pre-slicing it and storing the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator. ONE HOUR before serving take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator. The time may vary depending on room temperature. Don't let the inner temperature of the cheesecake get any lower than 41°. This is the highest temp you want your cheesecake to reach. At the one hour mark I was easily able to put a fork through the topping to eat. I still recommend slicing the cheesecake while the topping is warm.

Cover the cheesecake first with a piece of aluminum foil and secure it around the sides. Place cheesecake into pressure cooker using a sling. (can make sling using long piece of foil - folded in thirds length-wise) Lock pressure cooker cover into place. Set the pressure to high for 37 minutes. Allow a 10 minute natural release. After all pressure has been released, open pressure cooker and gently remove the pan. Remove the foil and dab off any liquid that may have accumulated. The center will be a bit jiggly, but don't worry. The heat that is trapped inside will continue to cook the center while the cheesecake cools. TOPPING: Mix together the sour cream and sugar and then spread on the hot cheesecake. Sprinkle lemon zest on top. Let cool on wire rack for one hour. Remove cheesecake from pan, lightly cover and place in refrigerator overnight. Note: For a smooth and creamy texture, remove the cream cheese and the eggs from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before you use them. Be careful about over baking. A cheesecake is done before the center of it is set. It will be a bit jiggly in the center and the sides will be slightly higher. Don't feel the urge to cook longer or else the cheesecake will crack and that's just not good. Use a 6" or 7" springform or Fat Daddio's push pan.
