Recently, several people in the Instant Pot Facebook Community Group<\/a> posted cute little heart shaped springform pans they bought at\u00a0Target. Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I couldn’t resist buying some too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to make\u00a0Heart Shaped Cheesecake in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\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 this delicious Heart Shaped Cheesecake!<\/p>\n

The first time I made cheesecake in these cute little pans, I didn’t line them with foil and had to eat them out of the pan. The second time, I lined them with foil and they were easy to remove from the pan to serve.<\/p>\n

Tip:\u00a0Shape your foil around the outside of your\u00a0pan and then fit it inside the pan.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three springform pans in the package<\/a>\u00a0and two fit side by side in my 6 quart Instant Pot. So I layered two on a rack\/trivet in the bottom of the pot, set\u00a0a\u00a0second rack on top of those two pans, and put the third springform pan on top of the second rack.<\/p>\n

I decided not to cover the pans with foil because they cook faster\u00a0uncovered. There was a little bit of moisture on top that I just blotted off with a paper towel. If you prefer to cover the cheesecakes, you could add a minute to the cook time.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have mini springform pans, you could make them in custard cups<\/a>. I haven’t tried it in custard cups yet, but it’s on my to-do list.\u00a0I’d probably use four custard cups and reduce the cook time to 5 minutes. Just don’t fill your cups more two-thirds full. Let me know if you give it a try.<\/p>\n

I like to make fruit sauces for the top of the heart shaped cheesecake using\u00a0both frozen and fresh fruit.<\/h3>\n

The frozen fruit breaks down quickly and easily and makes a great sauce. Then I stir in some fresh fruit so it has a fresh flavor and chunky texture. That way you get the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

There was a little bit of left over sauce that I topped a waffle<\/a> with the next day. It really is a fabulous sauce\u00a0and perfect addition to the\u00a0cute little cheesecakes. I shared some cheesecake hearts with my neighbor and she said they were the perfect ratio of crust to cheesecake. Make some for someone you love this Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
