Cheesecake doesn’t take a lot of time when you make them mini in the Instant Pot! In fact these Mini Cheesecakes took 3 minutes to cook and 14 minutes to release on their own!
You can get the same amazing flavor as a normal cheesecake but it is SO much easier to make them mini!
WHAT IS AN INSTANT POT?
Haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet? Well, you may want to consider it just for this recipe alone!
Instant Pot is a seven-in-one multi-cooker that works as an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, warmer, and sauté pan all in one.
Sounds a little too good to be true, but we promise it’s worth every penny! I haven’t used my slow cooker in months, which is saying a lot for this 3-4 times a week slow cooking girl!
HOW TO MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE CHEESECAKE FILLING
There are two very important rules in making the perfect filling.
- ROOM TEMPERATURE CREAM CHEESE
- ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS
I’ve tried skipping this step and it gives it a weird texture. So if you want the perfect cheesecake texture, make sure you have room temperature cream cheese and eggs.
CAN I MAKE THESE THICKER OR THINNER CHEESECAKES?
YES! In my ramekins filled the cheesecake to about 1 inch thick of cheesecake. If you prefer thinner cheesecake you can pour it so it is about half the size. Cheesecake does not rise as much as cakes and batters so you don’t need to leave a bunch of room for expansion – so filling it close to the top would work great.
