Instant Pot S’more’s Cheesecake is smooth cheesecake made with a graham cracker crust, rich chocolate center, and toasted marshmallow topping.
Can I tell you a secret? I tried S’More’s for the first time ever this past Christmas! Are you shocked? I can’t believe that I waited so long to try them! They are so yummy! Now, I’m on a S’More’s kick. I want S’Mores everything. Which is exactly why I created this creamy, marshmallowy goodness that I call a S’More’s Cheesecake! Plus, it cooks up quickly in your Instant Pot.
Why make your cheesecake in the Instant Pot?
Making cheesecake in the Instant Pot has become my favorite way to make it. By baking my cheesecake in the Instant Pot it helps the cheesecake stay moist. It seems the high pressure helps the moisture stay in the cheesecake. Also, baking your cheesecake in the Instant Pot really helps prevent cracking.
Tips for making a great Instant Pot Cheesecake
I think that using a food processor to get your crumbs fine helps form a better crust for your cheesecake. Use full fat ingredients. I know we all want to watch our waistlines, by using full fat ingredients on a cheesecake really gives it a great flavor and helps the texture along nicely. Also, make sure that you use room temperature ingredients, this helps with the smoothness and prevents clumps.
Can you make this cheesecake gluten free?
Cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts to make gluten free. The creamy middle of the cheesecake is naturally gluten free unless you add something else to it. So, to make your cheesecake gluten free all you need to swap out is the graham crackers. Swap them for gluten free graham crackers or gluten free cookies.
What size springform pan fits in an instant pot?
I usually use a 6 inch springform pan to make my cheesecake. I do this because a 6 inch pan can fit in any size Instant Pot. However, a 6 quart Instant Pot can hold up to a 7 inch springform pan. An 8 quart Instant Pot can fit up to an 8 inch springform pan. So, you will need to choose your pan based on your Instant Pot size. I always use my 6 inch pan.
