Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

by Leave a Comment

Many many years ago, I made this Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake … except it wasn’t in the Instant Pot. It was in the oven. I posted the recipe over here on Rose Bakes. I loved that cheesecake. Made it several times. Then somehow, forgot about it. But recently, I decided to make it again, Instant Pot style!

This Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake is two of my most favorite desserts rolled into one… cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies.  Or cookie dough rather 😉

While the texture is a little bit different, the final result is an incredible, rich and delicious cheesecake.

The crust is made from Chips Ahoy! Cookies. You could also use Famous Amos cookies (although it would take a few more because they’re smaller cookies).  Either way – chocolate chip cookies, butter and sugar make for a divine crust!

The cheesecake batter is pretty standard, but adding in balls of chocolate chip cookie dough really makes it extra special. Then, as if it needed more yummines, I drizzled ganache on top. Ohmyword… so good!

Are you drooling yet?  Let’s get started!!

How to make the cookie dough crust.

Chips Ahoy crust for Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake pressed into springform pan

First, you want to prepare the cookie crust. This is the easist thing in the world.  In a small bowl, mix together crushed chocolate chip cookies, sugar and melted butter. Press onto the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan and use the bottom of a glass to get into the corners – works great! Set aside.

Making the cheesecake filling.

Next, mix up the filling. The secret to the filling is having the cream cheese at room temperature and mixing it until there are NO lumps. This could take several minutes of mixing with a hand mixer, but you want to make sure it’s super creamy and smooth!

The last ingredient you’ll add to the filling (see details below) is the eggs. You’ll want to fold these in very gently with as little mixing as possible. I actually prick the yolks with cake tester then use a silicone spatula to mix it up – not an electric mixer!  

pouring Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake batter into springform pan

Pour the filling into your prepared crust and then gently tap the pan on the counter several times so that any air bubbles rise to the top and pop!

Next, in a small bowl, you’re going to make the cookie dough.  When it’s finished, take small spoons of the cookie dough and place them on top of the batter.

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake before baking in springform pan

Use a butter knife to push the dough down and then smooth it over the top so that the cookie dough is completely covered.

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake wrapped in foil before baking

Last step before cooking… tightly cover your pan with aluminum foil – this is very important to prevent you from ending up with a soggy cheesecake. I like to wrap it completely, bottom and top. Then place the pan on the trivet in your Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom, then seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. 

After it’s done, let it naturally release. Remove it from the pot, take off the foil and let it completely cool on a wire rack.  It will look VERY jiggly at this point, but that’s okay!  After it’s cooled, place the cheesecake in the fridge to cool overnight. Keep it in the springform pan!!!

Before serving, you’re going to add the finishing touches that put this Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake over the top!

Remove the sides from the springform pan.  Then, using a large spatula or bench scraper, gently lift the cheesecake off the bottom and onto a plate or cake stand.

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with no toppings Now you’re ready to make it pretty and extra delish!  The recipe is below, but basically you’re going to mix warm cream and chocolate to create an amazing drippy chocolate glaze. 

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with ganache, chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream on top

Then drizzle it all over. I also added some fresh whipped cream and a few chocolate chip cookies just for good measure. 😉

Instant Pot Goulash

by Leave a Comment

This classic Instant Pot Goulash is one of those one-pot meals that I will be making again and again! It’s hearty, easy, filling and delicious!!  When trying to describe it – it falls somewhere along the lines of a little bit like chili and a little bit like spaghetti or maybe like a chili-mac?  No matter what you call it, it’s just so, so good.

I’m gonna fess-up and tell you – I’ve never had goulash before. But when I saw a version of this on Pinterest, it called out to me. I love one-pot meals and casseroles. We’re big fans of anything that’s easy, fast, filling and good.  And the “good” part is most important! So we made it…

Instant Pot Goulash

Also, my kids are not super picky eaters but they don’t mind calling out a bad dish when I make one either.  This Instant Pot Goulash, they decided, is not a bad dish!  As the weather starts to cool off, I know I’ll be making this again and again!

By the way, in my googling and researching to write this post, it came to my attention that this dish is also called Johnny Marzetti, or American Chop Suey.  I’ve never heard of either in my 43 years, but that’s okay. I like to learn something new every day!

Oh – there’s also Hungarian Goulash.  That’s not what this is… this is American Goulash I guess?  Made even more American because it’s made in the Instant Pot.

Alrighty, so what’s in this Instant Pot Goulash (for those of you unfamiliar, like me)?  It’s got ground beef, noodles, tomato products, spices, and cheese. I mean – these are staple ingredients in most of our kitchens, right?

I was so happy and surprised to see that I already had everything I needed the first time I decided to make this!  Also – it only takes 1 minute of cook time once you have it all in the Instant Pot. You cannot beat that!

Instant Pot Country Style Ribs

by Leave a Comment

Just because summer is almost over and grilling season is coming to an end, doesn’t mean you have to do without ribs! These Instant Pot Country Style Ribs can be made any time of year and they are incredible!

Instant Pot Country Style Ribs with BBQ Sauce on white plate

When you think of ribs, it usually involves the barbecue grill, lots of foil, bottles of barbecue sauce, hours of prep and painstaking meticulous planning for just the right temperatures, and time.

Well, not with these ribs.  The Instant Pot will speed up your time, and you’ll come out with some great, fall-off-the-bone ribs, that are sure to please.  You will love this time saving delicious recipe.

Instant Pot Country Style Ribs on white plate

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO for INSTANT POT COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS:

First, I have to talk you through prepping the meat and it’s kind of icky, if you ask me.  But it’s necessary so here we go. I didn’t have a pic of this step, by the way.  So, ribs have a membrane on the back side of the rack that needs to be removed. It’s on the opposite side of the meaty part of the ribs, and it’s silvery white. It sort of looks like fat, but it’s not.

Take a sharp knife, and start at one corner on the back side of the ribs, and run the knife under the membrane to loosen it. Pull it back just a little, and use a paper towel get get hold of the loosened membrane, and pull it off. You may have to do this in 2 or 3 segments to loosen and pull, as some racks will have a membrane that comes off easily, and others will take a little work.

Once you have the membrane removed, place the ribs in a flat bottomed dish (like an 11 X 14) and sprinkle with liquid smoke. Let the ribs sit for about 30 minutes, and absorb the liquid smoke.

After 30 minutes, hold the ribs up, and allow any liquid remaining to run off into the dish. Lay the ribs back in the dish, and place in the refrigerator.

Instant Pot Country Style Ribs with dry rub

In a Ziploc bag, place the garlic salt, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, chili powder, dry mustard, paprika, onion powder, and celery salt. Close the bag and shake vigorously to blend all dry ingredients. Once ingredients are all blended, open the bag, and sit the bag in a bowl.

Remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Using a spoon, generously sprinkle the dry rub over the meaty side of the ribs, and press it into the meat. Once you’ve covered the ribs in the dry rub, cover the ribs with plastic wrap.  Then place in the refrigerator overnight to allow the flavors to be absorbed.

The next day, remove the ribs from the refrigerator. Place the trivet in the Instant Pot, and add 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Then curve the ribs around and place them on the trivet, or leaning against the inside liner of the Instant Pot.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and turn it until it beeps and locks. Make sure the pressure valve is set to ‘SEALING’, and press the Manual button, and set the time to 30 minutes.

Allow the Instant Pot to automatically build and release the pressure. Once the Instant Pot is completely done, and has released all the pressure (about an hour), turn the valve to venting. Use a pot holder to do this to make sure all pressure has been released.

Line an oven-safe dish with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Then remove the lid to the Instant Pot, and place the ribs in the dish. In a separate dish, pour half the bottle of Country Bob’s sauce. Also add the 1 cup of honey, and stir well. Pour this honey barbecue sauce over the ribs. Then place the ribs in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. This time in the oven will crisp the ribs and melt the barbecue sauce into the ribs.

It will get a little gooey in the oven, which blends the dry rub and barbecue flavors together. Once ribs have browned a little, and sauce is gooey, remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

NOTE: You may want to double the dry rub recipe for 2 full racks of ribs, depending on how much dry rub is preferred. Dry rub recipe given will make enough for about 2 – 3 pounds of ribs, which is approximately 1 rack.

Instant Pot Potato Salad

by Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Potato Salad is so delicious and easy to make!  This is a classic potato salad with no onions or relish, although you can add either or both to make it your own! It’s cool, creamy, loaded with texture and flavor!

instant pot potato salad in white bowl with fork and no onions and no relish

 

First… here’s a short video for you showing how I make the potato salad:

Potato Salad is easily one of my most favorite summer dishes! But I’m pretty picky about how I make it.  I don’t like raw onions. I really don’t like celery. And while I will eat potato salad with relish, that’s not favorite thing either.

I also make two different kinds of potato salad… this recipe I’m about to share and a “Loaded Baked Potato Potato Salad” that has bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and more!! Doesn’t that sound terrific? Maybe I’ll share that recipe soon.

Instant Pot Potato Salad

But for now, I present to you, my classic potato salad recipe with no onions, no celery and no relish.  This is a “southern” potato salad, so I do use mayo, mustard and boiled eggs.  I heard recently that there are potato salad recipes with no mayonaise and it shocked me.

I seriously had no clue… how can it be potato salad if it doesn’t have mayo??  But after a little googling, I was convinced… there are a million ways to make potato salad without mayonaise.

Anywho, one reason I especially love making potato salad in my Instant Pot is there’s no risk over overcooking the potatos and ending up with that mushy, watery texture. By cooking in a pressure cooker, the pototoes are cooked perfectly while retaining their firmess and original texture.

You see that also in this Instant Pot Baked Potatoes post.  In fact, this recipe starts in the exact same way as that one… with boiled eggs added in.

Also, I can cook the eggs at the same time as the potatoes and it comes together so quickly.

One last thing – I prefer russet potatos for potato salad. But I have made this same recipe with red potatoes and with Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes as well. All varieties are delicious!!

Alrighty, let’s get down to the recipe.  You’ll need 4 pounds of potatoes, water, eggs, mayonaise, mustard (I use spicy mustard, but standard yellow works great), then salt & pepper.

  • 4 pounds potatoes* (about 8 large)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (not low-fat, not Miracle Whip)

Scrub your potatoes clean. Stab with a fork 4-5 times each.

Pour 1 cup of water in your Instant Pot. Place the rack or steamer basket in the bottom, then place your potatoes on top.  Then place the eggs on top of the potatoes.

Lock the lid and set the vent to “Sealed”.

When the potatoes and eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them both and chop.  See my video here for how to quickly chop an egg.

Add the potaotes back to the pot, then the eggs and other ingredients.  Mix until well incorporated, then serve warm or chill for an hour or so if you like cool potato salad.

Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake

If you love the sweet & tart combination, this Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for you! This easy dessert is rich, creamy and and oh-so summery and tangy! 

Instant Pot Key Lime Pie Recipe

Cheesecake has been one of my most favorite desserts for as long as I can remember. And I’m not sure when I fell in love with Key Lime Pies, but they’re easily my most favorite pie. So of course if you combine those two desserts and then make the recipe super easy in the Instant Pot… it’s perfection!!

Ingredients:

2 packages softened cream cheese

½ cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)

6 tbsp granulated sugar

½ cup fresh key lime juice

2 eggs

3 tbsp melted butter

5 graham crackers crushed

Pinch of salt

Cool Whip and limes for topping (optional)

 

Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake on Green Cake Stand

Equipment:

Let’s get started!  I don’t have pictures of making the crust, but if you’ve ever made a cheesecake, this is pretty much the same process as always!  In a food processor, combine the melted butter graham crackers, and salt and pulse until you have fine crumbs. (You can also use a Ziplock bag and crush your crackers that way.)

Then prepare a 6” springform pan with nonstick spray.  Pour your cracker crumbs into the pan and press down with your hand to form the crust. Place in the freezer while you prepare your filling.

Mixing Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake in bowl

For the filling, use a hand mixer to cream the cream cheese until light and fluffy and there are no lumps. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes. You want to make sure to get all of the lumps out at this stage, so you do not overmix later on.

Add in the sour cream and sugar and mix until well combined. Add in the key lime juice.

Finally add in the eggs one at a time making sure to mix as little as possible.  Your mixture should be super creamy:

When you can open the pot, take the cheesecake out and allow to set on the counter until completely cool. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to overnight to set.

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs in Instant Pot with text

With Easter just a few days away, I had to share this recipe for anyone who doesn’t know… making hard boiled eggs in your Instant pot is one of the easiest things you’ll do!  And something you’ll do over and over again!

This foolproof method works best for us and is one that is highly popular amongst those who love eggs.  We love hard boiled as in tuna salad, chopped on green salads, added to potato salad, for deviled eggs, and more!

 

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

This method works well no matter which Instant Pot you have.  You simply need a trivet. These eggs are ideal for eating alone, or using in deviled eggs, egg salad, or as additions to a salad or any recipe with boiled eggs as an addition.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

4 – 12 eggs

1 cup water

Directions for Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Pour 1 cup water into the bottom of Instant Pot Liner

Place trivet into Instant Pot Liner.

Fresh eggs in Instant Pot for Instant Pot hard boiled eggs

Add eggs on top of trivet so that they are not touching the bottom of the liner.

Place lid on Instant Pot and set to seal.

setting timer on instant pot for instant pot hard boiled eggs

Set pot to manual for 5-7 minutes.

*Note – most recipes call for cooking only 5 minutes then allowing the pot to natural pressure release for 5 minutes.  I’ve had much more consistent success when setting my Instant Pot to 6 or 7 minutes and then doing a quick release.

This variation might be due to the size of the eggs or fresh eggs vs. store-bought. I’m not sure. For me, 7 minutes is perfect for farm fresh large eggs with a quick release. However, I encourage you to try different times to find what works best for you!

When the timer beeps, quick release the pressure then remove the eggs to a bowl for an ice bath or if you’re like me, you can chill them in the same pot.

Personally, I add a big cup of ice and another few cups of water to the Instant Pot liner and let them cool there.

Peel and serve or remove to the refrigerator for later use.

Uses for Hard Boiled Eggs

You can easily make larger batches of hard boiled eggs, but this time frame and amount really seem to work the best for perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs.  These come together so fast that you can easily cook them each morning while you are serving up breakfast or getting ready for the day.  They go perfectly inside lunch boxes or hold in the refrigerator for a week.

This easy method of making Instant Pot hard boiled eggs is going to be a favorite for your time and convenience.  Whether you are doing this for daily use, or for a special event like Easter, this is an ideal recipe to keep in your cookbook.

Instant Pot Chicken Stock

by Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Chicken Stock is easy to make and full of so much flavor! This homemade bone broth can be made in less than half the time of stove-top or slow cooker methods – you’ll never want to make it any other way!

I’m a huge advocate for not wasting. I don’t like to waste time, money, food… you get the idea.  For this reason, I’m always looking for ways to reinvent leftovers and use up produce that’s going bad.  Those ideas are what led me to sharing how to make homemade Instant Pot Chicken Stock.

For Father’s Day last year, we gave my husband this grill/smoker combo. Since buying it, we’ve grilled countless times and he’s smoked briskets, roasts and now whole chickens.

Anywho – so we had the smoked chickens (two for our large family) over the weekend and they were incredibly delicious. But at the end of the meal, I had these two carcasses and lots of skin and bits of meat leftover and I just knew I needed to get one more use out of the leftovers.

Instant Pot Chicken Stock

That’s when it occurred to me that I could use them to make homemade chicken stock. Even better… Instant Pot Chicken Stock!  I skimmed a few recipes, then dug through my refrigerator and pantry for leftoevers and ingredients that I could use for flavor.

Granted, nobody mentioned using smoked chicken for making broth but I figured I’d give it a try!  Since I had two leftover chickens, I got out both of my Instant Pots and doubled up. I plan to use some of the stock in my chicken & rice recipe tonight and freeze the rest for later.

In each pot of chicken stock, here’s what I included: the carcass and scraps of meat, skin, etc, baby carrots (that had gone soft), half an onion (also on the verge of going bad), minced garlic, a bay leaf, and some salt and pepper.

Several recipes I skimmed through also suggested celery and other herbs and spices, but I didn’t have that on hand, so I rolled with what I had.  I covered it all in water up to the fill line then used the manual setting.

The cooking times also varied from recipe to recipe… anywhere from 20 minutes to 120 minutes.  Since I wanted to use the broth that night in our supper, I settled in the middle and did 45 minutes for one pot and 60 minutes for the other. I couldn’t tell much difference in the two, but generally speaking, I imagine the longer you cook it, the better it’ll be.

Once the Instant Pot beeps and is done, allow it to natural release for at least 30 minutes.  Then you can strain it (discard all solids) and use it immediately!  Or let it cool to store in the frig for 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.  I did leave a few bits of chicken in the pot for the chicken and rice I was making, but usually I strain it all out.

And that’s it!  Currently I use stock for homemade Chicken Dressing (think Thanksgiving), chicken & rice, chicken noodle soup, potato soup, and so much more! It’s full of flavor and cheap, cheap, cheap!  Two of my favorite things!!

How to store homemade chicken stock…

If I keep any chicken stock in the refrigerator, I usually try to use it within 3-4 days (although I think it would keep okay for up to a week). I almost always just pour it up in quart jars. I freeze the rest of the stock in small one-cup freezer containers or these larger 4 cup containters.

Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti & Meatballs

by Leave a Comment

These Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti & Meatballs are one of those shortcut recipes that maybe even shouldn’t be called a “recipe”.

It’s a matter of taking pantry/freezer ingredients and combining them to have a meal ready in under 30 minutes!  Oh – and it’s a winner with the whole family!

Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti & Meatballs on white plate with text

Just to clarify before we get too far into things… I did not cook the spaghetti noodles in the Instant Pot. I have two Instant Pots so I could have, but I figured the average family doesn’t, so I tried to keep it real for the average family.

And yes, there are recipes where the pasta is cooked in the sauce in the Instant Pot. But I haven’t tried that for this particular recipe, so I’m sharing what I did.

Frozen meatballs. Jarred spaghetti sauce. And noodles cooked the traditional way (in a pot of boiling water).  We’re pretty loyal to Barilla for our pasta sauce (when I don’t make it homemade) and noodles.

This is one of the recipes that was a g0-to during our kitchen renovation. We had no stove, no oven, no dishwasher, no sink… bleh. It was challenging. But I had a table set up with an electric countertop burner and my Instant Pot and that’s how we cooked for almost 2 months.  Oh and a microwave… thank goodness.

Anyway, here’s what you’ll need:

Except probably half of what I used (remember – I have 6 kids 😁). So where you see giant bag of meatballs and two boxes of pasta and two jars of sauce… I’m writing the recipe using half that.

Easy Instant Pot Spaghetti & Meatballs

So here’s what you do…

  1. Pour the spaghetti sauce and 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot. Stir.  Pour in the meatballs and stir again until they’re all coated.
  2. Then you’ll lock the lid and set the vent to “Sealed”.
  3. Set to manual pressure for 10 minutes.*
  4. After it beeps, you can quick release and the sauce and meatballs are ready to eat!
  5. While the Instant Pot is doing it’s thing, cook the noodles according to package directions.  I use a big pot, lots of water and a generous palm-ful of salt.
  6. Last, serve the sauce and meatballs over noodles and enjoy!!

Note… we always add some fresh shaved parmesan… oh-so-good!
