Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 9-11 graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 2 - 8 oz cream cheese bars, softened
  • 3 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs plus 1 yolk, room temp
  • 1-1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • Start by grabbing a medium bowl and adding in the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter.
  • Mix them all together until they are fully combined.
  • Once done, take and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 7.5-inch springform pan.
  • Then, place it into the fridge. 
  • Next, take and add the cream cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Once done, you're going to want to add in the sugar and mix it until combined.
  • Now add in the vanilla and egg, one at a time and make certain that you're beating well after each addition.
  • Once mixed, take and pour into the prepared crust. 
  • After it's been poured in, take and cover the cheesecake with foil and loosely wrap the pan.
  • Then, take and fold a long piece of foil in half. Once done, place it under the cheesecake pan.
  • Grab the ends and fold them up to make a sling.
  • Take and place the rack right into the bottom of the Instant Pot and add water into the pot.
  • Next, take and put the cheesecake and sling into the Instant Pot.
  • Once done, you're going to want to close the Instant Pot and the pressure release valve.
  • Then, set the Instant Pot to the manual setting, high pressure for 30 minutes.
  • Once done, let the steam release naturally for 15 minutes.
  • Make certain to carefully remove the cheesecake and allow it to cool for 1 hour on the counter. Then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
