Equipment

Instant Pot (6-quart+) Required for pressure cooking
7-inch Springform Pan Fits in most Instant Pots
Electric mixer Stand or hand mixer
Trivet Comes with most Instant Pots
Aluminum foil To prevent condensation and ease removal

Ingredients

Crust

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar for crust
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for crust
4 tablespoon butter melted

Filling

16 oz cream cheese softened
½ cup granulated sugar for filling
2 large eggs room temperature
¾ cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup sour cream

Instructions

Grease the springform pan, prepare crust mixture, press into pan, and place it on a trivet inside the Instant Pot insert with 1½ cups of water.
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in pumpkin puree, vanilla, spices, and finally fold in sour cream.
Pour the filling over the crust. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles. Cover tightly with foil and prepare a foil sling for easy lifting.
Place the covered pan in the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow natural release for 10 minutes, then release remaining pressure manually.
Remove pan using sling and let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Before serving, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. Add desired toppings and slice.
