For more summer-inspired desserts, try our Tropical Mini Cheesecakes<\/a>, Key Lime Pie<\/a>, or our Coconut Rice Pudding<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need to make easy Instant Pot S\u2019mores Cheesecake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker<\/strong>, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by prepping your pan. Coat a 7-inch springform pan with cooking spray.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, to make the crust, <\/strong>combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until you have a sandy texture. Add this to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer that comes \u00be of an inch up the sides of the pan. Freeze the pan for 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese\u00a0 and sugar until fluffy. Next, add the heavy cream, vanilla, and flour and blend until smooth. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just blended. Finally, add the marshmallow topping and stir until just combined. Be sure not to overmix!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it out evenly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re ready to cook, add a cup of water to the pressure cooker pot. Place a trivet in the pot. Use a foil sling to carefully lower the pan onto the trivet. Fold the sling down and close the lid. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. When the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish with a quick pressure release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Test that the cheesecake is done in the center, and remove it from the pot. Cool the pan on a wire rack to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n To decorate your s\u2019mores cheesecake, you can sprinkle the top of the cake with toasted mini marshmallows, graham cracker pieces and chocolate shards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To make chocolate shards, I just left the Hershey\u2019s bar in its wrapper and banged it against my counter until it felt like it was mostly broken up. But you could chop it if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate in the microwave until it\u2019s pourable. Drizzle it over the decorated cheesecake and dig in!<\/p>\n\n\n We have a very in-depth post on everything you need to know to make perfect cheesecakes in the Instant Pot<\/a>. It goes into a lot of detail on how to use a foil sling, tips for ensuring your cheesecake is fluffy, not dense, and how to tell when your cheesecake is done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to use a hand mixer for making cheesecake<\/strong> because it\u2019s much easier for me to overmix using my KitchenAid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you get started, be sure that your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature.<\/strong> Otherwise, you may get lumpy batter. It\u2019s also important not to over-mix the cheesecake filling after you add the flour. Overmixing can lead to dense cheesecake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can decorate the cake however you like.<\/strong> We prefer to start with the marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, topped with a light drizzle of melted chocolate. We\u2019ve also tried doing it with a layer of chocolate ganache first, topped with toasted marshmallows and grahams and chocolate shards on top, but most of our friends and family thought it was too rich that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n You\u2019ll need a few key products to make any cheesecake in the Instant Pot: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, this is a great make-ahead dessert. In fact, the cheesecake needs to chill overnight to be fully set so you can slice it.\u00a0 We use the marshmallow ice cream topping from Smucker\u2019s. We did test this with marshmallow fluff, but it messed with the texture of the cheesecake, so we recommend the marshmallow ice cream topping.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> No! The great thing about making a cheesecake in the pressure cooker is that you don\u2019t have to bake anything. Freezing the crust helps firm it up before “baking” in the pressure cooker.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to four days.\u00a0Cheesecake also freezes really well if you slice and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and seal in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. <\/p> <\/div> To make the toasted mini marshmallows, it\u2019s easiest to use a cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e torch and toast them after you top the cheesecake. However, I don\u2019t have one! So I simply broiled our marshmallows in our oven.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cheesecake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Don’t make it more than a day or two ahead\u2014if you wait much longer, the crust will get soggy and it won’t be as pleasant to eat.<\/p> <\/div>
\u00a0
To do it, I put a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet and arranged the marshmallows in a 6-ish inch circle, then put them under our toaster oven broiler. As soon as the marshmallows are golden, remove them from the oven.
Also, be sure to transfer them to the top of the cheesecake right away. If you wait more than a minute or two, they start to stick to the parchment and are a nightmare to get off.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
