death by chocolate

Make a small size cheesecake that is every chocolate lover's dream! This Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake has an Oreo crust and ganache topping.

Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake

stuffed oreos** ((with filling))

cream cheese ((room temperature))

sour cream ((room temperature))

sugar

cocoa powder

vanilla

chocolate ((or milk chocolate

eggs ((room temperature))

chocolate chips

heavy whipping cream

Prepare your crust by placing your oreos into a food processor and blend until they form crumbs.

Place your oreos in a 7” springform pan, and pack down with your hand or a measuring cup on the bottom and slightly up the sides.

Place the crust in the freezer until the filling is ready.

Make the Crust:

To make your filling, start with all room temp ingredients. Place the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and mix on high until light and fluffy.

Add in your sugar and mix until just combined.

Add in sour cream and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Add in the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and vanilla and mix just until combined.

Last, add in your eggs. These the very last thing you mix in and mix as LITTLE as possible so you don't beat too much air into the cheesecake. Add your eggs one at a time and mix just enough so that they are fully incorporated.

Pour your filling into your prepared crust, and cover the top of your pan with tin foil. (If you would like to take it a step further, you can cover the bottom of the pan as well.)

Prepare your instant pot with one cup of water, and place a trivet in the bottom of your pot.

TIP: Make a sling by tearing a piece of aluminum foil, and folding in making a long strip, and place that on your trivet. This will make it easier to remove your pan afterwards!

Place the pan in your pot, and place the lid on. Make sure the pressure cooker is sealed.

Set on high pressure for 35 minutes.

After 35 minutes, allow for a natural release.&nbsp;

When you can open the pot, take the pan out and place somewhere that it can cool. I do not take the foil off of the top, If you want you can at this point, just know it may look like it is undercooked and very jiggly. It’s OKAY!&nbsp;

After the cheesecake cools completely, place it in the fridge overnight.

The next day, make the ganache by combining the chocolate and cream into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals until the chocolate is mostly melted. Stir the chocolate between each interval until all is melted

Allow the ganache to sit until it thickens slightly and then pour onto your cheesecake.

Serve and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make the Filling:

Do you prefer plain zucchini bread or zucchini bread with chocolate?

Followed the recipe as written (with the baking soda) and had no issues. Baked them as muffins, got about 20 out of the batter. Only took 30 mins on 325° Convect bake.

I totally messed up the instructions with my first loaf, (mixed the sugar with the flour mixture instead of the eggs).  It still turned out just fine.  Very moist.

OMG! This chocolate zucchini bread is heaven on earth. I used Nestle’s dark chocolate morsels! YUM!

I used the written recipe (not video recipe), substituted GF baking flour for the regular flour, cut sugar by 1/2 C, and used 1/4 C applesauce in place of the egg white. DeLISH!

TIP: For people who are asking about the baking soda or baking powder. USE THE POWDER. 
Zucchini is an alkaline veggie, it will not rise as well due to the bread being more alkaline. The soda works well with the acidic groups as the soda reacts with the acid from the mixture.
Also, I used 350 and I still have to keep it in longer than what it states, but no big deal for me. I use a gas oven as well, if that helps.

Delish is correct, this bread is great! I've been making it since 2016.

Made this on a whim! Easy, delicious and a family favorite. Very thick.

Chocolate and zucchini is a shockingly delicious combination.
