Method
Preparation
- Prepare the crust by mixing crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 6 or 7-inch springform pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition to avoid overbeating. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
- Drizzle salted caramel over the top of the filling and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Cooking
- Place a cup of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Set the cheesecake pan on the trivet and cover tightly with foil.
- Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes before venting.
Chilling
- Remove the cheesecake from the Instant Pot and allow it to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle with additional salted caramel and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Seal your pan well with foil to prevent water from seeping in. Patience is key, especially during the chilling process. Serve with coffee or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
