Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup Graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream

Topping

  • Cherry Pie Filling

Instructions
 

  • Set trivet inside your Instant Pot, add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the insert.

Crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir with a fork.
  • Press the crumbs in the bottom and sides of a 7-inch springform pan.
  • Place into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes and work on the filling.

Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add eggs and mix just until combined. Making sure to not overmix.
  • Add flour and sour cream and mix just until combined. Lastly, add vanilla extract and stir in with a spatula.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.
  • Pour water in your instant pot and place pan carefully on the trivet/rack in your Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the valve to "sealing" position.
  • Set pressure to high and the time to 30 minutes.
  • Once the timer is up, do not release pressure but let it release naturally. Mine took about 20-30 minutes. When the valve dropped, carefully open the lid away from your face and let any remaining steam escape. Using a paper towel, gently blot the surface of your cheesecake from any built up condensation.
  • Take the cheesecake out. Let it cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill overnight or at least 4 hours.
  • Add pie filling to the top and serve. ENJOY!

Notes

To cut perfect slices, clean the knife after each cut.
