Delicious Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake. An Oreo cookie crumble crust, creamy cream cheese filling with Oreo cookie bites and topped with chocolate ganache. It is the perfect chocolatey dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Something you should know about me is, I am obsessed with chocolate but I am also very particular with my chocolate.
While I love chocolate, I think there has to be a good ratio of rich chocolate to creamy goodness and that is why I love everything about this Oreo Cheesecake that you can make in your Instant Pot.
The combination of the cream cheese filling and Oreo cookie with the chocolate ganache just make you want to escape to a private island so you can indulge in every bite in peace.
The bad news is, this probably won’t last very long in your house.
The good news is, it’s delicious, easy to make and it’s the perfect Instant Pot Dessert beginner recipe especially if you’ve never made Instant Pot Cheesecake before.
Making Instant Pot Cheesecake
If there is one tip I can give you about making Instant Pot Cheesecake it is that you NEVER and I mean NEVER want to make cheesecake in your Instant Pot after you’ve cooked something in it without cleaning the rings.
I have to say, I don’t mind if I get a little chicken flavor in my loaded potato soup or chili but chicken and cheesecake do not go. YUCK!
So, you will need to either do a deep cleaning of your Instant Pot before making your cheesecake or just purchase new sealing rings.
The sealing rings help the Instant Pot have that nice tight seal but they also are major magnets for odor.
They trap odors like nobody’s business so you need to remove them, soak them and clean them regularly or you get flavors/scents stuck into the next recipe you make.
Personally, I like these Instant Pot Sealing Rings because I can color code them based on how I use them. I use the black for meat, mint for desserts and clear for everything else (like veggies and stuff). It really makes a difference.
Aside from that, you just need the ingredients, an Instant Pot and a 7-Inch Springform Pan to make this tasty cheesecake. Don’t worry, sharing is not required.

- Gently place the cheesecake pan on top of the trivet. Cover the pan that has the cheesecake with foil.
- Set on manual setting. Adjust the pressure to high. Cook for 30 minutes. (30 minutes will make the cheesecake creamy while 35 minutes will result in a denser cheesecake.)
- When the IP beeps, release the pressure naturally for about 20-30 minutes.
- Carefully open the IP. Gently move the cheesecake to a cooling rack.
- Allow to cool for about 1 hour. Carefully run a paring knife around the edges of the cheesecake.

- After the minute start to slowly stir the mixture until all is totally blended. (If not all of the chips are melted return the bowl for another 20 seconds.) Stir. Repeat these last 2 steps as necessary until the chips are melted and incorporated. (If the mixture is too thin add move chips, If the mixture is too thick add more cream. If added stir until all ingredients are blended.)
- Move the serving plate close to the cheesecake. Remove the cheesecake from the pan.
- Set it on the serving plate.
- Carefully pour the ganache over the cheesecake.’
Chocolate Whipped Cream Directions:
