Instant Pot Key Lime Cheesecake

Yes! Dessert in the Instant Pot. This rich creamy cheesecake won't disappoint!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
cooling 8 hours 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients  

For Crust:

  • 1 c graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp butter melted

For Cheesecake:

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 tsp Flour
  • ½ c Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • Zest of 1 Lime
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 3 Tbsp Key Lime Juice

Topping:

  • ¾ c Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • Zest of 1 Lime
  • 10 Thin Lime Slice Halves

Instructions 

For Crust:

  • Spray a 6” springform pan with non-stick spray and set aside.  In a small bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and stir together with a fork. Press firmly into the bottom of the sprayed springform pan, then set aside.

For Cheesecake filling:

  • With an electric mixer beat together: cream cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla and zest of one lime. Scraping sides and bottom to ensure all ingredients are mixed together well (to avoid any lumps). Add eggs one at a time and then egg yolk. Beat until just combined. Mix in Key Lime Juice (if you can’t find Key Lime Juice, you can substitute lime juice) and Whipping Cream until just combined. Pour over crust. Tap pan gently on the countertop a few times to get rid of any large air bubbles.

Cooking:

  • Add 1.5 cups water to pressure cooker insert. Then place the trivet in bottom of the insert. Lay a paper towel over the top of the springform pan (dry paper towel) and then wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan in the pressure cooker using a sling. Lock lid in place and cook at high pressure for 37 minutes. Once cooking is completed let pressure release naturally for 18 minutes.
  • Carefully remove from the pressure cooker and remove foil and paper towel. Set on wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Then carefully run a sharp paring knife around the perimeter (between cheesecake and pan edge). Let cool for 20-30 minutes and then release the springform pan edge. Cover lightly and refrigerate overnight.

Topping:

  • Using a large spatula, remove springform pan bottom from cheesecake and place cheesecake on serving platter. Place whipping cream and sugar in a mixing bowl and then whip until stiff. Fold in the zest of ½ of a lime (keep remaining ½ of lime to zest over the top for a lovely presentation).
  • Place whipping cream in a piping bag with a large open star tip and pipe onto top of the Instant Pot cheesecake, then zest remaining half of lime over the top of the whipped cream and center of cheesecake. Place lime slice halves around the perimeter of cheesecake equidistance apart by sliding gently into whipped cream. 
  • Refrigerate (covered) until ready to serve. Enjoy!

  1. I love cheesecake. This is the first time I’ve ever made it. I began eating it even before making the topping. Sorry.
    I have a six quart old school pressure cooker. It worked fine for this.
    Thanks!

  2. Larry, you can if you like. This might be helpful if you want to remove the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan before serving.

  3. Hi…I am buying a 6 in spring form pan that comes with pre cut parchment paper. Should I put it in the bottom of the pan for your recipes?

  4. I do not have an instant pot, but would love to make this recipe and bake it in the oven.
    Can you advise me how long to cook it and at what temperature in an oven?
    Thanks much

  5. I LOVE my instant pot and learning to make new things in it. This cheesecake was delicious. Thanks for the new dessert recipe.
