How to Make Perfect Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot Cheesecake

Hello Foodies,

       Looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe for the Christmas party? Then this is the ideal and full proof instant pot cheesecake recipe for the perfect ending to fall and winter holiday dinners! It is a no-bake version of cheesecake in a jar made with fresh oranges. These can be a delicious treat for any time. I am a cheesecake person at heart; every time we went to the cheesecake factory, I tried different flavored cheesecakes. 

So, if you put in front of me many desserts and there is cheesecake, I will reach for it, no doubts here. This Pressure Cooker Cheesecake has completely changed my perception of how this cake can be made. It has a rich, creamy taste, and I used fresh orange juice to get the perfect flavor. I have made several variations on this basic recipe, and everyone asks me to make it over and over again. Oranges are flooding in the market these days, gorgeous and fragrant ones that are just perfect for making instant pot cheesecake in jars.

Other versions of instant pot cheesecakes I will be sharing with you soon. I have used orange cream biscuits as a crust, which is a wonderful part of the recipe. But you can totally replace them with your favorite crackers. It was the most creamy, best-tasting cheesecake.

So guys, skip the bakery line and make this decadent instant pot orange cheesecakes in a jar at home. 

Why I Like Instant Pot to make cheesecake 

• Making an Instant Pot Cheesecake is just like making a regular cheesecake until you get to the cooking part. And to be honest, I think Instant Pot Cheesecake is actually more comfortable because you don't have to mess with a water bath because the Instant Pot creates a water bath for you. 
• You'll also need mason jars to make cheesecake. I have been using Ball Mason jars to make desserts in instant pot, and so far, it's doing best!

Why should you add cornstarch to a cheesecake?

• Usually, cornstarch is added to the cake batter to avoid cracks. About one tablespoon to 1/4 cup of cornstarch (depends on how much batter you have) is added to the batter.

How long orange cheesecake lasts

           You can prepare the cheesecake up to three days before you plan to serve it. Keep it in the jar, covered, and refrigerated until you plan to serve. Wait to add the topping until serving. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for about five days.
