We love making cheesecake in the Instant Pot and know how to ensure they come out perfectly every time. If this is your first pressure cooker cheesecake, start with our foolproof how-to guide.
Red Velvet has been one of our most requested cheesecake flavors from readers, so we’re thrilled to share it with you!
This pretty swirled cheesecake is one of our favorite Instant Pot cheesecake recipes. Serve it for a Valentine’s day or birthday celebration and watch it disappear!
Here’s what you need to make the crust and filling for this Instant Pot Red Velvet Cheesecake:
This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Power Pressure Cooker XL.
Start by preparing the pan. Grease a 7-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, if desired.
To make the crust, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and one inch up the sides. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese and sugar just until smooth. Add the lemon juice, vanilla, sour cream, and flour. Add eggs one at a time. Mix until just combined, then stop mixing!
Scoop a cup of batter into a separate bowl and add the cocoa powder and red food coloring. Stir until combined. Pour the red batter into the springform pan on top of the crust. Then gently pour the white batter on top. Use a spoon to pull some of the red batter up from the bottom of the cheesecake and swirl. Don’t try to swirl too much.
To cook, add a cup of water to the pressure cooking pot and place a trivet in the bottom. Use a sling to lower the cake pan onto the trivet and fold the sling into the pot. Close the lid and cook on High Pressure for 23 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish with a quick pressure release.
Remove the lid, and check to see if the cake is set in the middle. When it’s done, use the sling to remove the cake pan from the pot. Cool the cheesecake on a wire rack to room temperature. When cool, loosen the cake from the pan with a thin knife. Then cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (I prefer overnight.)
Serve as-is or with a drizzle of chocolate, chocolate curls, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Before you start cooking, make sure that all of your ingredients are at room temperature. Otherwise, your cake batter may not mix uniformly and then won’t bake correctly.
It’s very important to choose a flavorless red food coloring. I like the liquid (as opposed to gel) food coloring for this recipe. It mixes more easily so you won’t over mix the cheesecake batter. You can use a gel, just be careful not to stir too much!
Overmixing the cheesecake batter can make it flat and tough, not fluffy and smooth.
Because the chocolate flavor is swirled, the red velvet flavor is more subtle than other chocolate cheesecake recipes. If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, you can always top the finished cake with melted chocolate.
Be sure to let the cake cool for at least 4 hours in the fridge before serving. This time helps the cake firm up so it’s sliceable. However, I think that cheesecake tastes best a day or even two after baking.
You’ll need a few key products to make a cheesecake in the Instant Pot.
We tested a few different ways to get the best marbled look on the top of your cheesecake, such as a spoon, a toothpick, and a skewer. We had the best results using a larger spoon. Just be careful when you twist the spoon not to grab any crust on the bottom.
After swirling, we scraped the red batter remaining in the bowl on top to help improve the swirl effect. However, if another method works better for you to get the nice marbled swirl effect like this one, go with it!
We kept the chocolate flavor a little lighter in this cheesecake, since Red Velvet Cake use less cocoa than regular chocolate cake. (Compare our favorite Red Velvet Cake recipe to our favorite Chocolate Cake recipe.)
If you’re wanting a heavy chocolate flavor, you can’t go wrong with our Chocolate Cheesecake or our Nutella Rolo cheesecake.
You can easily make this cake look just as good without the swirl. You can divide the batter in half and make a two-layer red and white cheesecake. (This would look so good for Valentine’s Day.)
Or, if you don’t mind biting into a very red cheesecake, you can also double the cocoa and red food coloring and add it to the whole batch of cheesecake batter.
Store leftover cheesecake wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days.
If you’re cooking for two or for one, you can also cut the cheesecake into individual slices, place on a baking sheet and freeze solid. Once frozen solid, wrap in plastic wrap and pop the slices into a freezer safe bag. They should last about 3 months if kept frozen.
