You will love this amazing Instapot cheesecake! It is the most creamy and dreamy cheesecake we have ever made! Made with just a few ingredients, it tastes better than what you would get at a grocery store or a bakery. And when you use your Instant Pot instead of the oven, it will be so simple to cook it, too!
Best Instant Pot Cheesecake Recipe
What do you need to make this easy Instantpot cheesecake? You will need just a few items:
– Food Processor, for making both the cheesecake crust and the cheesecake batter. Many recipes I have see use a food processor to make the crust, and then a mixer to mix cheesecake. I tried both methods, and I like using the food processor much better. It mixes the ingredients together faster and better, and the cheese cake comes out amazingly airy and not heavy. Plus, with this method, you will only need to wash the food processor, and not both food processor and mixer! Click here to see which food processor I use and recommend.
– Fat Daddio Cheesecake Pan, you would not be able to make a cheesecake without a pan with a removable bottom. This Fat Daddio Cheesecake Pan is so simple to use, and it is very easy to take the cheesecake out of it. This is also the perfect cake pan for a 6 qt or 8 qt Instant Pots. If you don’t have a cake pan, click here to get Fat Daddio Cheesecake Pan.
– Instant Pot, you need to have an Instant Pot to make Instapot cheese cake. You will love using it for other dishes, too, from stews to soups, veggies and pasta dishes.
– Instant Pot Trivet, and you will also need this Instant Pot Trivet for putting your cheesecake pan on it.
Why Should You Make Cheesecake in Instant Pot?
Cheesecake needs a moist environment in order to cook properly, and create the amazing, moist cheesecake texture that everyone is so familiar with.
When you bake cheesecake in the oven, you need to submerge it in a water bath as it cooks, so that the cooking environment is moist.
The great thing about Instant Pot is that since you need some water inside the Instant Pot for it to work, the cooking environment inside it is already moist. This makes it a perfect appliance for cooking a tasty cheesecake. As you will need to add water to the Instant Pot, in order for it to work, you don’t need to do anything special in order to make a perfect cheesecake.
Should You Cover Cheesecake When Cooking It?
Here is another thing that this recipe does differently from many other recipes for cheesecake I have seen. Many recipes call for covering the top of the cheesecake pan with foil.
I don’t like that idea — as we want the cake to cook in a moist environment, when we cover the top, we don’t let moisture get to the cheesecake.
Don’t cover it. Because you don’t cover it, there will be a bit of condensation on top of your Instant Pot cheese cake, when you open the cheesecake. Once it cools off, just use a small spoon and carefully remove the water.

Why Should You Use Food Processor and Not Mixer?
As I mentioned above, you don’t need a mixer, but only a Food Processor to make this delicious Instapot cheesecake.
Why do you not need a mixer? Food Processor makes is really simple to make cheesecake! It mixes the ingredients really well, and it creates a really nice cheesecake batter.
Plus, who wants to wash an extra appliance? You already need the Food Processor to make cheesecake, so you might as well use it to make the cheese cake itself, too!
