How to Make Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake

Form crust - Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. Combine the crushed Oreo and butter until well combined and then press firmly into the springform pan to form a crust.

Blend cream cheese - Place the pan in the fridge while you prepare the filling. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese until smooth.

Create cheesecake filling - Once smooth, add powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, and the other cup of crushed Oreo and blend until well incorporated.

Prepare to cook- Pour the mixture into the crust and place it on a trivet in your instant pot.

Cook in an instant pot - Add one cup of water, cover the top of your springform pan with aluminum foil, and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.

Let it set - Once cooked, allow to naturally release and place in freezer for 2 hours, or in the fridge for 4-6 to allow to set completely.

Serve - Serve and enjoy.

Common Questions about Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake

How do I prevent the top of my cheesecake from cracking?

A crack in your cheesecake can occur during the cooking process or during the setting process. Your cheesecake may be cooling too quickly. If your cheesecake cracks in the freezer, try it in the fridge next time. However, if it continues to crack don’t worry because the Oreo crumbs on top will cover it up nicely.

Is it better to let my cheesecake set in the fridge or the freezer?

This entirely depends on how much time you have. If you have the time to spare, setting your cheesecake in the fridge will help reduce the risk of cracking. However, chilling your cheesecake in the fridge will ensure it is ready within an hour or two; perfect for when you are in a pinch and need a dessert fast. 

I don’t have any parchment paper; can I just spray the bottom of my pan non-stick cooking spray instead?

Unfortunately, parchment really works best for this dessert. The crème filling from the Oreos tends to stick to the pan after setting if you don’t use parchment paper. If you don’t have time to run to the store to get parchment paper, you can always scrape the crème off of your Oreos or use graham crackers if you are looking to add a nice complimentary flavor to your chocolatey cheesecake.

Why do I need to add a cup of water to my instant pot?

Water baths are a common and useful tool when it comes to baking a cheesecake. The steam from the water helps control the rise of the cheesecake and will help ensure the middle of your cake doesn’t sink after you take it out of the instant pot. Additionally, the steam helps prevent the cake from drying out, which helps to prevent cracks that may form as it cooks.
