To know the Instant Pot is to love it, and while there are plenty of reasons for that love, the fact that it can make you cheesecake surely should be at the top of that list. Cheesecake in the Instant Pot, it’s true! And not just any cheesecake… but a truly creamy and decadent chocolate trifecta that will rival anything you make in a water bath in the oven. Sometimes I’m convinced that there’s nothing this appliance can’t do.

This cheesecake starts with an oreo cookie crust, followed by a luscious creamy layer reminiscent of milk chocolate, and it’s topped off with a deeper chocolate ganache. That means in every bite you get the crunch of chocolate cookies with a sweet and velvety chocolate filling set off by a dark, fudgy ganache. You could say it’s the ultimate chocolate cheesecake. And the Instant Pot makes easy work of it.

You cook this in a springform pan like you’re accustomed to, but one that’s small enough to fit in the insert of your Instant Pot. The pan sits on the trivet that came with your appliance, but a few mason jar lids will do if you happen to have misplaced it. This holds the pan above the water that goes into the insert, which basically steams the cheesecake as it comes up to pressure.

The cooking method isn’t all that different than a water bath in the oven, but it’s a little gentler and a lot more foolproof. So go ahead and say goodbye to cracked cheesecakes! The Instant Pot will give you the ultimate chocolate cheesecake each and every time.
