How To Make This Instant Pot Cheesecake:
To start we will make the crust first. To do that we need to cut a circle of parchment paper the size of the springform pan.
Place the paper into the bottom of the pan and spray the paper and pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Or butter it.
Next, put the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter into a medium bowl. Mix until the consistency of wet sand.
Dump mixture into the greased pan and press into bottom and up the sides about 1-inch.
Put the crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
Next, mix cream cheese, brown sugar, and sour cream until thoroughly combined. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.
Now add the eggs and mix well.
Add peanut butter and mix until nice and creamy.
In a separate small microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, combine cream and chocolate chips. Microwave for 20 seconds at 50-percent power. Stir and continue heating in 5-second intervals until melted.
Pour about half of the cheesecake filling into crust. Then drizzle about half of the chocolate across the surface of the cheesecake.
Pull a butter knife or skewer through the chocolate form swirls.
Then pour the rest of the cheesecake filling on top. Then top with the rest of the melted chocolate and swirl over top just as before.
Cover cheesecake with foil, sealing edges.
Add 1½ cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Set cheesecake on the trivet and lower into the Instant Pot.
Place the lid on and turn the valve to seal. Set to 45 minutes at high pressure.
When time is over, let sit for 10 minutes, then manually release pressure and remove cheesecake.
Remove foil from cheesecake. Allow to cool for one hour, then refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
Making The Icing:
Mix the sour cream, powdered sugar, peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter together in a bowl.
Slowly add milk to thin to desired consistency.
Using a piping tip of choice, put frosting in pastry bag and pipe around the edge of cheesecake. We used a #4B tip. Add mini peanut butter cups around the edge.
