Having three birthdays on the same day is a cause for a huge celebration – and sometimes a rich chocolate cheesecake is the best way to do that. 

This chocolate cheesecake isn’t your typical cheesecake that bakes up in your oven.  Instead, we used our Instant Pot to cook this beauty up and boy is it delicious!  Instead of going with a chocolate crust we opted for a graham cracker crust. Then, we combined with a rich chocolatey cheesecake and topped with a thin layer of chocolate ganache.  Totally yummy!

In fact, this cheesecake is so delicious that you might not want to ever revert back to regular cheesecake.  From this point forward, every cheesecake you make will be chocolate cheesecake ?

As you get started, wrap the bottom of your springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent any moisture from creeping in. Work the graham crackers into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter.  Then push them into the bottom and up the sides of your springform.

Pop in the freezer until you are ready to fill the cheesecake.

For a smooth and creamy filling, ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature. Once combined, pour them in the springform pan.  You will want to take a spatula and even out the top to make it as smooth as you can before putting in the Instant Pot.

Prepare your Instant Pot by pouring two cups of water within, and then placing the steamer rack inside. Use an 18-20″ piece of aluminum foil folded into thirds and use as a sling on the underside of the cheesecake – that sling will allow you to pull it out gently once it’s done cooking.

Lay that sling in the Instant Pot so that the sides drape evenly on each side of the pot.  Then gently place your cheesecake within the pot on the rack. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the valve, then set the timer for 30 minutes at high pressure.

Once the pot is done, release the pressure and carefully unfold the slides of the sling to remove the cheesecake. Allow it to cool on the rear of the counter, then move to the refrigerator and cover with aluminum foil.

Wait at least 4-6 hours before removing the springform and enjoying with family and friends.

It’s rich, it’s decadent and it’s delicious!  But before you get started, pick up these items to help you make this delicious cheesecake:

  • Wilton Springform Pan

Chocolate Cheesecake (Instant Pot)

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

A rich, decadent, chocolate cheesecake that cooks up quickly in your Instant Pot - so good you will never want to eat regular cheesecake again!

Ingredients

    Crust:
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 C. chocolate cookie or graham cracker crumbs
  • Cheesecake:
  • 1 lb cream cheese, room temperature*
  • 1/4 C. brown sugar
  • 1/4 C. granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature*
  • 1/4 C. sour cream, regular (NOT low fat), room temperature*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/3 C. cocoa powder
  • Topping:
  • 1 C. heavy cream
  • 8 oz semi sweet chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare your Instant Pot by adding 2 C. of water in the pressure cooker and then placing the trivet inside. Pull out an 18-20" piece of aluminum foil and fold it in thirds to make a sling. Set aside.
  2. Combine the melted butter with the chocolate crumbs and make a crust for your cheesecake - pour the crumbs in the springform pan and push them down to make a nice, even layer - you'll want to push those crumbs up the side of the springform just a bit, then put the springform pan in the freezer for a little while, as you make the cheesecake filling.
  3. In your KitchenAid, cream the room temperature cream cheese with the sugars, adding in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Add the all purpose flour, sour cream, vanilla and cocoa powder and blend until creamy. Do not over mix! Pour the filling into the springform pan atop the crust, and smooth the top down evenly with a spatula.
  4. Place the pan on the sling and carefully move to your Instant Pot. Lower the pan into the Instant Pot (sling being on the underside), then fold the ends down so as to avoid them touching the top of the cheesecake.
  5. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, close the valve, and set the pot for manual (high) for 30 minutes.
  6. Once the pot beeps, do a quick release and the cheesecake should be puffy - that is NORMAL.
  7. Gently and carefully untuck the ends of the sling out and lift the cheesecake out, setting it on your counter to until it has cooled.
  8. Once cooled on the counter for an hour, transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and let it chill before serving - preferably 4-6 hours if not overnight.
  9. Once cooled, make the ganache ~ cut the chocolate in pieces and combine with heavy cream on low heat. Stir frequently to avoid the mixture from sticking or burning to the pan. Once blended, remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding to the top of the cheesecake. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

*It is imperative that the eggs, cream cheese and sour cream be room temperature or your filling will not be smooth and creamy.
