In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley - this would be great with milk chocolate as well. Enjoy!

I got almost all of the ingredients and I’m looking forward to making this over the weekend! It will be my first attempt at instant pot cheesecake. One question, I have milk chocolate but no semisweet chocolate (for the topping). Will that make a big difference? Has anyone made this recipe with milk chocolate instead of semisweet?

In reply to Nadia. Thanks Nadia - I would use 2 cups of water under the cheesecake in the 8 quart, but the same cook time. Enjoy!

This cheese cake looks amazing and can’t wait to make. I have a Duo 8Qt, do I need adjust the cook time or the amount of water you put in the inner pot? Thank you!

In reply to Kitty. Hi Kitty - definitely put it in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight and then it should taste much better. The IP is so fun!

I just tried this recipe in my IP Ultra 6 qt with a 7 inch spring form pan, and it didn’t go so well. The default setting for cake on the Ultra is 40 minutes at high pressure, which I thought was okay because I inadvertently added the third egg white. I mixed all the ingredients by hand at room temp, so I don’t think I introduced too much air, and I did NPR for 10 minutes. The cheesecake pretty much exploded and was way over cooked – internal temp about 200 deg F or more. It is more like cake than custard, at least hot, and it doesn’t taste very good, though the batter was yummy. The extra egg white might have made it a bit fluffier, but I don’t think it was the only culprit. I am going to chill it anyway and see what it tastes like tomorrow.

I have an IP Lux 3 qt and a Duo 8 qt, so I can do some experimenting, but my guess is the Ultra is more efficient and gets to a higher pressure, so the time should be decreased. The IPs are really fun, but you do need to experiment for awhile!

In reply to Barbara Schieving.

So I cooked it for 24 minutes in an 8 inch pan and the center was just the tiniest bit jiggly….it was definitely cooked…I might even reduce it by a couple more minutes next time I make it.
Thanks!

In reply to Hope.

Yes – I think reducing it by 1/3 sounds like a good plan for this cheesecake as well. Let me know how it goes 🙂
