Put your batter into the ramekins (4-ounce or 6-ounce) and place the rack into your pressure cooker. Add a cup of water to the bottom of the pot.

Place your ramekins on top of the rack and cover each ramekin with foil.  No need to wrap it in the foil as this is just to keep the condensation out of your dessert.

Note: If you use 4-ounce ramekins, you should be able to fit four in at once. With 6-ounce ramekins, you might only be able to fit two at a time. If you do that, just chill the extras while they wait for their turn.

Place the top on and set to 18 minutes on high pressure and use the quick release function on your pressure cooker.

Carefully remove from the pressure cooker and let cool for 5-7 minutes.

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

October 5, 2019 by Rose Atwater 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 ? Slice of Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake on plate with ganache and chocolate chip cookies While the texture is a little bit different, the final result is an incredible, rich and delicious cheesecake. side view of Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake on cake stand with ganache and chocolate chip cookies
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! slices of Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake on plates with forks 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.

Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake batter in mixing bowl with silicone spatula 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! pressing cookie dough into Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake batter in springform pan 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. pressing cookie dough into Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake batter in springform pan 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! Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with no toppings being moved with bench scraper from pan
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. 😉 slice of Instant Pot Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with ganache, chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream on top

Whipped Cream and Chocolate Chip Cookies for garnish, optional

 

 


Instructions

  1. Set out all ingredients to allow them to come up to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the crust by crushing the cookies, then mixing with the sugar and melted butter.
  3. Press crust into 7-inch spring form pan, prepped with non stick spray. Pack it tightly to the bottom and slightly up the side with a small glass or the back of a spoon.
  4. Next, make the filling by creaming the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Next, add in the sugar, and mix well. Add in the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until combined. Then add in the eggs.  Mix them in slowly until just combined. DO NOT over mix. Add batter into the crust.

  7. Place one cup of water in your pressure cooker along with the trivet. Set on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Add in the cheesecake, then place the lid on and make sure the valve is closed. Press start.
  8. After 45 minutes, do a natural release (do not open the valve). Once you can open the pot, take the cheesecake out, remove the foil and let it completely cool.
  9. Once cool, put your cheesecake into the fridge overnight.  
  10. When ready to serve, make the ganache by microwaving the heavy cream in 30 second intervals until its steaming. Then pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then whisk it until smooth and drizzle over the cheesecake. Garnish with more cookies and whipped cream if desired.
  11. Enjoy!

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!!

Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake

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:

Pour the mixture into your prepared crust.

Place the cheesecake on the trivet and the lid on top and make sure it is in the sealing positing.

Set your pot on high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow to naturally release.

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.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake is a deliciously moist cake that will be a new favorite! Ready in your Instant Pot in just 30 minutes this will be a favorite!

A few years ago, I found this amazing secret to a healthier and moister cake.  It involves using a cake mix and a can of pumpkin.  It’s really popular with those looking to cut out fats and calories in their diet, and for those parents wanting to sneak some healthy foods into your kid’s diets.  When I got my Instant Pot, I decided to test it out in there as an easy option for making a cake without turning the oven on.  The result was amazing!

Place 1 cup water in the bottom of Instant Pot.  Pour the batter into a springform pan.  Create a sling using aluminum foil (this tutorial is great) and place your springform pan into the Instant Pot using the sling to make it easy to remove after cooking.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to seal.  Cook on Manual High Pressure for 30 minutes, allow to Natural Release for 15 minutes, then release remaining pressure.

Remove from the Instant Pot and allow to cool completely before icing.

One Minute Pressure Cooker Applesauce

February 6, 2016 by Rose Atwater Leave a Comment

I didn’t know how easy it was to make homemade Pressure Cooker Applesauce until I decided to try it in my Instant Pot. I’m telling you, once you make your own One Minute Pressure Cooker Applesauce, you will never want to buy it at the grocery store ever again!

Pressure Cooker Applesauce

 

I have also been using this to trick my brain into getting rid of sugar altogether.  We use Braeburn apples and they taste so sweet!  We don’t add any sweetener to this recipe, but if you’d like it a little sweeter, try honey or Stevia.

Snip20160206_79

You can use as many apples as you want.  I usually do 6-7 at a time, and that gives me about a quart of applesauce once it is cooked. Peel, core, and cut the apples into fours.

Snip20160206_80

Put everything into the pot and top with ground cinnamon (to taste).  If you want to add a sweetener, use honey (1 tablespoon) or Stevia.

Snip20160206_81

Cook the apples on high pressure for 1 minute.  If you are new to the Instant Pot, press the “manual” button then take the time down to 1 minute by using the “-” button. The Instant Pot will begin building pressure once you stop pressing any buttons.

Snip20160206_83

The apples should be nice and soft.  This makes an immersion blender go through them easily.  Blend until you reach your desired texture.

Happy Cooking!
