INSTANT POT® CHEESECAKE
Cheesecake? In a pressure cooker? You bet. A creamy cheesecake relies on beating lots of air into the batter before cooking it. It also requires steaming. When you bake a cheesecake in the oven, you also need to put a pot of hot water underneath the springform pan to ensure the top of the cheesecake does not crack. In an Instant Pot®, all you need is a little water and the trivet. The result is a decadent cheesecake with no fuss. Serve with fruit on top, such as ripe blackberries.

Steps:
- Pulse graham crackers, 2 teaspoons white sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor. Pour in melted butter; pulse until fine crumbs form. Pat the crust into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 6-inch springform pan. Put the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-low speed until aerated and creamy, about 4 minutes. Add 2/3 cup sugar and salt; mix for 4 minutes more. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest; mix batter for 1 minute more.
- Crack 1 egg into the batter; mix for 1 minute. Add remaining egg; mix for 1 minute more. Stir in the sour cream; mix until it has disappeared into the batter, about 1 minute. Pour into the crust-lined pan. Make a loose tent over the pan with aluminum foil.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot®; add the trivet. Lower the filled springform pan carefully into the Instant Pot®. Lock the lid into place.
- Choose the "Manual" setting; select high pressure. Set cook time for 40 minutes. When the timer goes off, allow pressure to naturally release for 18 minutes. Remove the lid. Check for doneness; edges should be set and the center should jiggle slightly when shaken.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Crush 30 cookies to fine crumbs in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Reserve remaining cookies for another use.
- Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture into an Instant Pot® branded springform pan ensuring you bring some of the mixture up the sides. Use a glass or measuring cup to even out the base and ensure crumb mixture is fairly tightly packed.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust has set, making sure it does not burn, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for at least 1 hour.
- Combine cream cheese and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 4 minutes, scrape down the bowl, and beat for 1 more minute. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low and mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until just incorporated.
- Pass batter through a sieve or tamis, using a silicone spatula to push the mixture through. Pour sieved batter into the springform pan into the cooled crust.
- Wrap springform pan from the top with foil in its entirety, ensuring it is completely covered. Press springform on a flat surface to make sure foil is leveled and even on the bottom. Create a foil sling by tearing off a segment of heavy-duty foil at around 2 feet long. Fold it in half lengthwise and continue to fold in half until you get a 2x24 inch sling.
- Set a rack into your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and pour in about 1 1/2 cups water. Set springform pan in the middle of the foil sling and make a 'U' shape out of the sling with the ends of the foil at the top of the pan as if the pan were to be sitting on a swing. Lower pan into the Instant Pot® with the sling wrapped around it in this manner and fold ends of the sling over the top of the pan. Close and lock the lid.
- Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 46 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove cheesecake using the sling and allow to cool on the counter for about 1 hour. Refrigerate for several hours afterwards before serving.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better tasting cheesecake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cheesecake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
- Decorate the cheesecake as desired: You can use fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or other toppings to decorate your cheesecake.
