I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. We are back to work and thinking about Christmas!!! OMG! You MUST make this cheesecake for the holidays. It is seriously The Best Homemade Instant Pot Cheesecake. I adapted it from my regular Best Homemade Cheesecake Recipe. It truly is the best cheesecake I've ever eaten. I am SO excited to share the Instant Pot version with you today.
You are going to need a 7-inch springform pan to make this recipe. I know that it is annoying to buy special pans, but the 7-inch springform pan is inexpensive. You are going to want to make this cheesecake all the time, so it is totally worth it!
This Best Homemade Instant Pot Cheesecake is so light and fluffy. It gets the airiness from beaten egg whites. You gently fold them into the batter and it makes ALL the difference. Once the cheesecake has cooked in the Instant Pot, you need to let it refrigerate overnight. It really needs that time to cool off and setup. You can also make this in advance and freeze for later. Just let it thaw in the fridge before serving.
We really believe this is The Best Homemade Instant Pot Cheesecake. The two of us can eat this whole cheesecake in about 5 minutes flat. It is that good!!! Since the cheesecake is smaller, it makes a great homemade gift! Just put it in a cute box, or wrap it in plastic wrap and slap a bow on top.
