    How to Make Instant Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake

    creating the crust

    Create the crust - Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. Combine the crushed graham crackers and butter until well combined and then press firmly into the springform pan to form a crust. Place the pan in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

    creating the pumpkin cheesecake mixture

    Create cheesecake filling - Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Once smooth, add powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin and blend until well incorporated.

    before cooking the pumpkin cheesecake in an instant pot

    Cook in an instant pot - Pour the mixture into the crust and place it on a trivet in your 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.

    Common Questions About the Instant Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake

    What if I do not have pumpkin spice, what else can I use?

    If you do not have a pumpkin spice blend, you can easily make your own at home. Simply combine one teaspoon of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. For a spicier taste, add an extra teaspoon of cinnamon to your blend. 

    What if I can’t find cinnamon graham crackers in a store near me?

    If you don’t have access to cinnamon graham crackers, simply add two teaspoons of cinnamon to crushed graham crackers and mix until well incorporated. This will give you that same fall feeling as you eat your pumpkin cheesecake.

    Do I have to use a springform pan to make this recipe?

    Spring form pans work best for cheesecake recipes, especially cheesecake recipes that are made in an instant pot. However, if you do not have access to a springform pan, you can use a cake pan if you grease down the sides. The biggest change in using a cake pan is that you will have to serve the cheesecake straight from the pan.

    How long will this cheesecake last?

    This cheesecake will last for five days in the fridge. However, you can also store slices of this cheesecake in the freezer for up to two months in case you need a decadent treat to look forward to.
