Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
When it comes to cheesecake many people think that it is hard to make. Making Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake could not be easier to make. Since it is just basically mixing the batter and setting it in the Instant Pot you can almost forget about it. Make this amazing Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake for a simple decadent dessert.
Is It Easy to Make Oreo Cheesecake in Instant Pot
It is actually extremely easy to make an Oreo Cheesecake in the Instant Pot. I have found the most difficult thing about the process is that is can be hard to get the pan out of the inner pot. The best thing to do is to make a foil sling when you are putting the cheesecake in the inner pot. This gives you handles to bring the springform pan out of the pot.
How to Prevent an Instant Pot Cheesecake From Cracking
There are a few things to do that will help prevent an Instant Pot Cheesecake from cracking.
First, make sure the eggs and cream cheese are room temperature. When you use these ingredients cold, the fats do not always combine correctly and can create cracks.
Next, make sure you grease the pan. This allows the cheesecake to pull away from the sides which will prevent the top from cracking.
Lastly, when the time is done, do not be tempted to bake it longer. Follow the directions on pressure time, release time and cool time. This should help prevent cracking as well.
Ingredients in Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
- Oreo cookies
- Unsalted butter
- Cream cheese
- Sugar
- Cornstarch
- Eggs
- Heavy cream
- Vanilla
- White chocolate chips
How to Make Oreo Cheesecake
Prepare the springform pan by greasing it and if you want, add a layer of parchment paper.
First, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter.
Transfer the butter and crumb mixture to the pan and press the mixture to form a crust. Work the crust up the sides of the pan about half way.
Refrigerate the crust for at least 20 minutes.
Bring the ingredients out and let them come to room temperature.
Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cornstarch on medium-low speed. Beat until it is light and fluffy. Be sure to scrape down the bowl.
Beat on low and add in the heavy cream and beat until it is well blended. Scrape down the bowl.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each one. Add in the vanilla.
Slowly add in the chopped cookies, stirring to mix them together.
Bring the crust out of the refrigerator and slowly pour the cheesecake batter into the crust.
How to Make Cheesecake in the Instant Pot
Place the trivet into the Instant Pot
Add in 1 1/2 cups of water.
Make the foil sling and lower the cheesecake an into the trivet. Cover the springform pan with foil.
Set the pressure to high for 30 minutes to 35 minutes. 30 minutes will give a creamier cheesecake and 35 minutes creates a denser cheesecake
Let the Instant Pot fo a natural pressure release for 20-30 minutes
How to Make Ganache Direction
Put the heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. Heat it until it just begins to bubble.
In a medium bowl, add the chocolate chips. Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for about 1 minute.
Mix together until completely blended. If it does not all melt, heat for another 45 seconds.
Take the cheesecake from the pan and put it on a servings plate.
Pour the ganache over the cheesecake and garnish with Oreo cookies.
Return the left over cheesecake to the refrigerator. Cover the cheesecake loosely with foil. It will last in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
