Can you use greek yogurt in this cheesecake recipe instead of sour cream?
If you have greek yogurt on hand, you should be able to swap it out. It may have a little bit of a different taste but for the most part, it’s a great option for a substitution. Just make certain that you are draining out any liquid that might be in either container. You don’t want to add that to your cheesecake mixture.
Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
Gather up the ingredients listed below and you’re ready to get started!
Ingredients to make homemade cheesecake:
- Oreos – Crushed up for the crust and the cheesecake filling
- butter – salted or unsalted and melted for the crust
- cream cheese – full-fat works best and always at room temperature for the oreo cheesecake filling
- granulated sugar – for the perfect sweetness
- sour cream – full-fat sour cream is preferred.
- all-purpose flour – this helps make a firmer and more sturdy cheesecake.
- vanilla extract – for flavor and because every recipe should have some vanilla in it.
- eggs – always used large eggs unless the recipe specifies another size. The eggs will need to be at room temperature for this IP oreo cheesecake recipe.
How to make Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
Start by greasing a 7-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
Then add crushed Oreos and butter that have been combined to the pan. Press everything down until it’s firm and place in the freezer to set up.
Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until it’s creamy. Add in the sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined. Scrape down the sides and beat in any unmixed bits.
Fold in remaining crushed Oreos.
Pour batter into the springform pan and prepare the Instant Pot. Cover the springform pan with tin foil and place the cheesecake pan in the Instant Pot on top of the trivet and close the lid. It will cook for 30 minutes.
Do a quick release and open the lid. Carefully remove the pan from the pot and allow the cheesecake to cool on a cooling rack for two hours.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours before serving. To remove the cheesecake from the pan, run a knife around the edge of the pan, then pop the springform ring off the sides.
How do you store cheesecake once cooked?
Great question. If you happen to have any leftovers, your cheesecake needs to be stored in the fridge until it’s ready to be eaten. Due to the ingredients in the mixture, it needs to remain in a cool place so it doesn’t spoil or go bad.
Can you freeze the cheesecake for later?
Yes, you can. And while doing so is simple and easy to do, just know that it might change the texture of the cheesecake once it thaws out to be eaten. The taste and flavor should be the same though, so that’s a good thing! Make certain that you’re storing it in a freezer-safe container so you don’t have to worry about it getting freezer burnt.
What kind of toppings could you put on the top besides Oreos?
If you don’t want to add Oreo toppings to the top of the cheesecake, you could always drizzle some hot fudge on top or chocolate syrup instead. Another great cheesecake topping is chocolate chips, too! There are so many different types of chocolate chips out there that you could even add mint ones to go along with your Oreo cheesecake!
This Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake is so simple and easy to make. Let your Instant Pot take over and do all the hard work for you. You’ll love being able to set back and enjoy bite after bite once its cooked and ready. And if you feel like sharing this delicious cheesecake recipe with others, they’ll probably love you for life as well!
