Instant Pot Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees/F.

Step 2

Add Nilla Wafers to a food processor until you get about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add in the melted butter and pulse until combined.

Step 3

Pour into the bottom of a greased 7″ springform pan and use your hand or the back of a spoon to press and form a crust bringing the crumbs up about 1 inch on the sides.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Step 5

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese for 3-4 minutes or until completely smooth and there are no lumps.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the sugar and flour and mix until just combined.

Step 7

Add vanilla and heavy cream. Mix on low speed until combined. Slowly increase the speed to high for about 1 minute,

Step 8

Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and make sure there are no lumps. Give one final mix before adding the eggs.

Step 9

Add the eggs one at a time and mix just until the yolk disappears into the batter.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the prepared crust and gently tap the bottom of the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 11

Cover the pan completely with aluminum foil. Add one cup of water into the inner pot of your Instant Pot and add in the trivet,

Step 12

Place the cheesecake on top of the trivet and set your pot to high pressure for 40 minutes and allow to naturally release.

Once you can open the pot, remove the cheesecake and allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

Step 14

Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours but overnight is recommended.

Step 15

Add the Oreo cookies into the food processor and pulse 5-6 times until you get a coarse crumb. Remove half of the crumbs and place in a small bowl.

Step 16

Add the Jell-o mix and whipped cream into the bowl and use a fork to combine.

Step 17

Place the strawberry crumbs back in the food processor and pulse 2-3 times until well incorporated.

Step 18

Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and spread the strawberry topping in an even layer on top of the cheesecake.

Step 19

Sprinkle the crumbles over top the strawberry topping.
