Instant Pot Lemon Cheesecake
With Lemon Curd Topping
For this lemon cheesecake with lemon curd topping, we did not make the lemon curd from scratch. We used a store-bought jar like this one here. However, if you want to make homemade, check out our Lemon Curd Recipe!
However, if you wanted you could make yours from scratch. It will just take a little extra time.
Because this is being made in the Instant Pot you will need to use a 7.5-inch springform or push pan. The 9-inch one will not fit in the Instant Pot.

How To Make This Cheesecake:
We start by getting the cheesecake pan ready and making the crust. To do that line a 7.5 inch springform pan with a piece of parchment paper. Then give it a good greasing with butter or use a baking spray.
I find using the paper helps it come off the pan easier but this could be skipped if you wanted to.
In a food processor or large mixing bowl, mix together sugar, butter, and graham cracker crumbs until fully combined.
Then press the mixture into the greased springform pan. Set aside.
Next, we need to make the lemon cheesecake filling.
Again, use a food processor or large mixing bowl to beat the sugar and cream cheese until smooth and combined.
Then mix in the lemon juice, sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined.
Now add in the eggs. Mix until fully combined. Pour the mixture over the crust. Cover the pan with foil.
Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Carefully place cheesecake on the trivet. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it. Make sure the valve is on close.
Push cook/manual then select high-pressure and set the time for 35 minutes.
When it beeps, turn off the Instant Pot and allow it to natural release for 15 minutes. Then take the lid off. Use a towel or paper towel to blot away any moisture on the foil.
Lift the cheesecake from the pot. I find these mitts helpful for that. Place the pan onto a wire rack on the counter. Allow it to cool completely.
Then leaving it in the pan, place into the fridge overnight or 6 hours.
Now you can remove the outer ring of the pan. Either leave the cheesecake on the bottom of the pan or slide over to a plate. Top with lemon curd. Then add some whipped cream around the edge and you are good to go.
If you want it to be a little extra pretty, use a slice of fresh lemon and a mint leaf or two.
