Instapot Cheesecake

Ingredients

Crust

• 3/4 cup Honey Maid Graham Crackers (crushed)
• 2 teaspoons White Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Butter melted

Filling

• 16 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
• 1/2 cup White Sugar
• 2 teaspoons All Purpose Flour (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Orange Peel grated
• 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Peel grated
• 2 Eggs room temperature
• 1 Egg Yolk room temperature
• 1/4 cup Whipping/Heavy Cream
• 1 pinch Sea Salt

Crème Fraîche Layer

• 1/2 cup Sour Cream
• 2 teaspoons White Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Crust

• Add cookies and sugar to the bowl of food processor and pulse a couple of times, until small crumbs form. Melt butter in microwave or on stove top and add to graham cracker mixture. Pulse until just combined.
• Pour cookie mixture into bottom of greased 6-inch cheesecake pan and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and no more than one inch up along the sides.
• Place pan with crust into freezer for 20 minutes while you mix up the filling.

Filling

• Blend together cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, flour, grated peels, salt and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Add eggs and yolk, one at a time, lightly mixing until just combined. Do not over mix the eggs.
• Pour filling into the pan, on top of the crust.

Cook

• Add 1.5 cups of water to the bottom of your pressure cooker and then place a trivet inside the pot.
• Cover the cheesecake first with a paper towel and then with a piece of aluminum foil and loosely secure the foil.
• Place cheesecake into pressure cooker using a sling.
• Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve.  Cook at High Pressure for 38 minutes. When beep sounds, wait 18 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
• After all pressure has been released, open pressure cooker and gently remove the pan. Remove the foil and paper towel. Tilt the cheesecake pan and dab off any liquid that may have accumulated.
• The center (no more than an inch) will be slightly jiggly (not wet, JIGGLY), but don't worry. The heat that is trapped inside will continue to cook the center while the cheesecake cools.

Crème Fraîche Layer

• Whisk together the sour cream, extract and sugar to make a Sweet Crème Fraîche and then spread on the hot cheesecake.  Let cool on wire rack for at least one hour.
• Lightly cover and place in refrigerator overnight.  Cheesecake can be removed from pan after an hour in the refrigerator.

Notes

Cheesecake needs a full 24 hours to set properly, develop flavor and become dense.  Otherwise, the Cheesecake will be eggy, light, not dense and flavorless.

If there is liquid on the top of your cheesecake, put it back into the Pressure Cooker for 5 more minutes with a 10 minute Natural Pressure Release.

Any kind of Crispy Cookie Crumbs can be used, such as Nilla Wafers, Shortbread, Ginger Snaps, Chocolate Thins, Biscoff, Oreo, Lorna Dune, etc. Biscoff Cookies work best for the crispest crust.
Orange and Lemon Zests - with such a tiny amount, citrus is not detected, but they brighten the recipe and take the flavor to a whole other level. Don't skip.
