Robin Eggs Mini Cheesecakes <\/em><\/strong>decorated with Whoppers Easter candies are the perfect spring dessert. These <\/em>Pressure Cooker Mini Cheesecakes<\/em><\/strong> have rich, creamy New York-style cheesecake loaded with colorful Robin Eggs. A fun <\/em>Instant Pot mini cheesecake recipe<\/em><\/strong> just in time for Easter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My family went crazy for my Robin Eggs No-Bake Cheesecakes<\/a>, so I thought it would be fun to make it an Instant Pot \/ electric pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This pressure cooker dessert has a more traditional New York-style cheesecake batter that’s dotted with colorful Whoppers Robin Eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc23 These quick and easy mini cheesecakes are guaranteed to be a hit at your Easter celebration! <\/strong>\ud83d\udc23<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Update:<\/strong> Since writing this recipe several years ago, I\u2019ve started using adorable mini mason jars<\/a> to make pressure cooker cheesecakes. This post has been updated to reflect these upgrades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pin for later<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step in making these delightful Robin Eggs Mini Cheesecakes<\/strong> is a perfectly buttery crust. Our recipe is only three ingredients that cook up to a classic crust on the bottom of each pressure cooker cheesecake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply mix up graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a bit of sugar to line the bottom of each mason jar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>I like to use a #40 scoop<\/a> (about 1.5 tablespoons) to loosely scoop the crust into the individual jars. Then I use an inexpensive tart tamper<\/a> to really press the crust into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After filling the jars with crust, pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Robin’s Egg Mini Cheesecakes<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This 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 While your graham cracker crusts firm up in the freezer, whip up the simple New York-style cheesecake batter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These Easter-themed cheesecakes benefit from tangy cream cheese and sour cream for some serious flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The batter itself is a quick dump-and-mix recipe, with a few important notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (See all my Tips for Making Perfect Instant Pot Cheesecake here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because everything is cuter when it\u2019s smaller, I love making individual pressure cooker cheesecakes instead of one big cake. Plus, it’s automatic portion control! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n I cook these adorable cheesecakes in twelve mini (4-ounce) mason jars<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I first tried making cheesecakes in mason jars for our Instantly Sweet Cookbook<\/a><\/strong>: Mini Lemon Cheesecakes, and I fell in love<\/em> with how adorable they come out. (See how cute?!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason jars are the perfect size for mini cheesecakes that cook evenly into creamy, single-serving treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>To fill the jars evenly, I like to use a #16 scoop<\/a> (2 ounces or just under 1\/4 cup). If you don\u2019t have one, a kitchen scale<\/a> is another great tool to make sure each filled jar weighs the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After filling, you can stack the glass jars right inside the pressure cooker pot. Start by adding a cup of water to your pressure cooking pot. This will produce the steam you need to bake the custards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, stack your jars inside the pot. Start by placing a short trivet on the bottom with six mason jars on top. Then place a second rack in the middle and the remaining six mason jars on top of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u27a1\ufe0f If you don’t have two pressure cooker racks, you can place canning rings under the bottom six jars. Then place a rack on top and stack the remaining six jars on top of the rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the cheesecakes finish cooking, set them on a wire rack to cool. Be sure the cakes are 100% cooled before putting the lids on the jars. <\/strong>Then, let the covered cheesecakes set in the fridge overnight for the best flavor and texture<\/p>\n\n\n\n I dressed up my Robin Eggs Mini Cheesecakes<\/strong> with a swirl of whipped cream and some extra mini Robin Eggs on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re feeling very festive, bring more of an Easter look to your mini cheesecakes with an adorable nest of candy eggs on top. (See our Malted Milk Chocolate Cake<\/a> from Barbara Bakes for a how-to on this decorating strategy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf6b This recipe doesn’t have to be just for Easter! <\/strong>\ud83c\udf6b \ud83d\udc30 If you haven\u2019t had your fill of cute Easter sweets, try some of these favorites from my baking blog, Barbara Bakes:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83e\udd5a And because it can\u2019t be all about desserts on Easter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
