How to make this Instant Pot Nutella Cheesecake

Start by lining the bottom of a 7.5 in springform pan with parchment paper and spray pan with baking spray or some other type of non-stick spray.

Next, use a food processor and grind up the Oreos into small crumbs. Once done, mix in the melted butter.

Then, take and spread the crust mixture into the springform pan and up the sides to completely cover it. 

After that’s finished, take and place it into the freezer while you start to make the cheesecake mixture. 

You’re going to want to use a standing mixer for this next step. Start to beat together the cream cheese and sugar until combined and smooth.

Next, add in and beat in the beat in the vanilla, flour, Nutella, and heavy cream until it’s all combined very well. 

Grab your eggs and beat them in one at a time. 

After that, it’s time to pour your cheesecake mixture into the crust.

Add in 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and then place the trivet inside. 

Cover the cheesecake springform pan with foil and carefully place the cheesecake down into the Instant Pot.

Next, take and lock the lid in place. Select high presser and set the timer for 50 minutes. 

When it beeps and is done, allow for a natural release. Then turn off and allow the cheesecake to cool for 1 hour.

Carefully remove the lid from the pot and make certain that you place it onto the counter and allow it to cool completely.

Place your cheesecake in the fridge overnight.

How to make the Chocolate Ganache

Grab a medium pot and heat-safe bowl and begin to heat the cream up in the pot until it’s hot.

When it’s ready, add the chocolate chips into the bowl and pour the hot heavy cream over the
chocolate chips to start the melting process.

Start the timer and allow to sit for 2 minutes before whisking it all until smooth.

Once it’s smooth, you’re going to take and pour the ganache over the top of the cake and spread it out evenly.

Chocolate whipped cream

The time has come to make the homemade whipped cream! Start by grabbing a medium bowl and hand mixer and add in all ingredients except the sprinkles and beat until stiff peaks form.

Then, take it all and put it into the piping bag.

Pipe along the edges of the cheesecake and be generous…

Once done, take and sprinkle chocolate sprinkles all over!

Serve and enjoy!

      Hi Heidi, it gets added in at the same time as the other eggs. The extra yolk just makes for a richer cheesecake.
