We\u2019ve been making it for years, and now I\u2019ve updated the post with new photos, tips, and tricks to perfect the recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The components to this layered cheesecake are the shortbread-pecan crust, the thick and tangy New York-style filling, and the caramel toppings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can customize the crust and toppings to fit your flavor preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need for the crust layer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it! This three-ingredient crust really couldn\u2019t be easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need for the cheesecake layer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this is your first time making a pressure cooker cheesecake, start with this how-to video<\/a>. It includes everything you need to know about making a perfect cheesecake every time with step-by-step instructions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step in making this cheesecake is the crust. It needs to set in the freezer before you can add the cheesecake filling so it holds its shape well. To make the crust, simply combine the cookie crumbs, pecans, and butter into a uniform mixture. Press them into a greased springform pan and stick it in the freezer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While the crust sets, you can whip up the cheesecake mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need a mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer for best results. Start by blending together the cream cheese and sugar until they are light and smooth. Next, add the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla, and flour. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f Tip: It\u2019s important to not over mix the cheesecake batter! <\/strong>When you overmix, the batter will become dense and tough, with cracks and a funny, unpleasant texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have a smooth, uniform batter, pour it into the frozen crust. Now you\u2019re ready to pressure cook the cheesecake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Place a trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooker, along with one cup of water. Then use a sling<\/a> to lower your springform onto the trivet. Lock the lid in place, set the pressure cooker to high, and cook for 30 minutes. When the cook time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish with a quick pressure release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help the cheesecake set, remove it from the Instant Pot and cool for an hour at room temperature. Then tick it in the fridge t chill for at least 2 more hours, until firm. For best results, chill the cake overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re ready to serve, garnish your New York cheesecake! We like to add caramel ice cream, toffee bits, chopped pecans, and grated chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the best tips to make the perfect Instant Pot cheesecake are in this post. It includes how to make sure your crust holds its shape. How to prevent cracks and know when your cake is done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a few of the most important things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use any brand of pressure cooker to make this cheesecake, including an Instant Pot, a Ninja Foodi, or Power Pressure Cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7-inch springform pan or push pan. <\/strong>We generally use springform pans<\/a> because we prefer the unlocking mechanism. However, other people prefer push pans<\/a>. Use what works best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also need a trivet<\/a> and a sling to keep the pan above the water and to help you lift it in and out. You can make a sling out of foil <\/a>or buy a reusable sling.\u00a0(They even sell some trivet\/sling combos<\/a>, which we love. Just know that if you use the thicker silicone trivets, you may need to add an extra minute or two to the cook time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n New York cheesecake is denser and thicker than a traditional cheesecake. This is thanks to a higher proportion of cream cheese vs. other kinds of dairy like cream and sour cream.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can use any no-bake crust you like to make this cheesecake. Feel free to browse our other Instant Pot cheesecake recipes<\/a> for inspiration.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Yes, in fact, this cheesecake will be even better if you store it in the fridge overnight. You can store the cheesecake tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to three days. Decorate it just before serving.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> If your cheesecake doesn\u2019t look set in the center after pressure cooking for 30 minutes, replace the lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the center is set.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> You can decorate this cake in so many different ways! We like to add more caramel to the top to compliment the toffee flavor in the crust. Try adding chopped caramel or toffee candies, a swirl of caramel sauce, or even caramel ice cream.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Not quite right?
