How to Make Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake

Line the bottom of a 7-inch spring form pan with parchment paper.
Combine the crushed Oreo and butter until well combined and then press firmly into the spring-form pan to form a crust.
Place the pan in the fridge while you prepare the filling. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese until smooth.
Once the cream cheese is smooth, add powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, and the other cup of crushed Oreo.
Pour the mixture onto the chilled crust and cover it with aluminum foil.
Prepare your instant pot. Add one cup of water to the bottom of your instant pot. Place a trivet in your instant pot and place your covered spring form pan on top of the trivet.
Cover your instant pot and set instant pot to sealing, high pressure for 35 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes to come to pressure.
Once cooked, allow the pressure to naturally release.
Place the cheesecake in the freezer for 2 hours, or in the fridge for 4-6 hours to allow it to set completely.

How to Store Instant Pot Cheesecake:

Storing: Instant Pot cheesecakes will need to be kept covered and in the refrigerator due to the eggs, butter, and cream cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container to maintain maximum freshness.

Freezing: Freezing cheesecake is perfect for when you want to extend the life of your cheesecake. Place a piece of wax paper between each cut for easy access to slices. Thaw for 30 minutes before serving.

Substitutions for this Recipe:

Oreos: We don't recommend substituting Oreos for another cookie, but you can swap it out for any other Oreo flavor.

Salted Butter: Butter is essential to this recipe. We haven't tried it with dairy-free butter but it might work!

Cream Cheese: We recommend using softened cream cheese in a block, using cream cheese from a tub will not provide the same results.

Powdered Sugar: We don't recommend substituting powdered sugar unless you have to. Check out this post on Sugar Substitutes for Baking for other ideas.

Eggs: We don't recommend substituting eggs, but you can read this article on Egg Substitutions for Baking if you need to substitute. Try it at your own risk!

Vanilla Extract: Helps to add flavor, we don't recommend substituting.

Tips & Variations for this recipe

Golden Oreos: With so many different Oreos, you can have many variations by changing the Oreo flavor.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temp ingredients will significantly reduce your chance for lumps, and really make mixing the filling a breeze.
Take Its Temperature: If you're unsure that your Oreo Cheesecake is done, use an instant-read thermometer. A temperature around 140 - 150F is ideal.

Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake FAQ:

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 with 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.
