Instant Pot Mini Cheesecakes will always be one of our favorite desserts. Because they are small, they only take a few minutes to cook.
Cheesecake doesn’t take a lot of time when you make them mini in the Instant Pot!
These Mini Cheesecakes took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
You can get the same amazing flavor as a normal cheesecake but it is SO much easier to make them mini!
WHAT IS AN INSTANT POT?
Haven’t jumped on theInstant Potbandwagon yet? Well, you may want to consider it just for this recipe alone!
Instant Potis a seven-in-one multi-cooker that works as an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, warmer, and sauté pan all in one.
Sounds a little too good to be true, but we promise it’s worth every penny! I haven’t used my slow cooker in months, which is saying a lot for this 3-4 times a week slow cooking girl!
HOW TO MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE CHEESECAKE FILLING:
There are two very important rules in making the perfect filling.
- ROOM TEMPERATURE CREAM CHEESE
- ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS
I’ve tried skipping this step and it gives it a weird texture. So if you want the perfect cheesecake texture, make sure you have room temperature cream cheese and eggs.

Let us give you your time back. With the Six Sisters’ Meal Plans, we do the dinner planning, grocery ordering, and then all you have to do is decide whether to pick them up or have them delivered.
CAN I MAKE THESE THICKER OR THINNER CHEESECAKES?
YES!In my ramekins filled the cheesecake to about 1 inch thick of cheesecake. If you prefer thinner cheesecake you can pour it so it is about half the size.
Cheesecake does not rise as much as cakes and batters so you don’t need to leave a bunch of room for expansion – so filling it close to the top would work great.

Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 Tablespoons melted butter
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese completely room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 eggs completely room temperature
Instructions
For crust, combine all ingredients and press into bottoms of ramekins. I put a little less than 1/4 cup of filling into each ramekin.
For cheesecake, beat cream cheese, other ingredients and eggs last.
Beat just until combined.
Place 1 cup of water in bottom of pressure cooker. Layer ramekins with tray or trivet. To cook all six at the same time – lay another trivet on top of 3 of the mini cheesecakes and layer the other three on top.
Make sure your Instant Pot knob is turned to SEALING. Push the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL button. Cook for 3 minutes.
Let the pressure cooker release on its own or NATURAL RELEASE. Mine took 14 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature, then chill in fridge for about 3 hours. Top with your favorite toppings!!

Miriam says:
I am using 1/4 pint jelly jars for this recipe. All 6 will fit on the trivet - do I need to be concerned about the jars being to close together, or will it be fine.
-
Momma Cyd says:
You should be fine if they all fit. You don't want them super tight and snug.
-
Roni says:
Where did you get the second trivet?
-
Momma Cyd says:
You can get a lot of Instant Pot accessories on Amazon.
-
Alicia says:
I am definitely going to try this. Where did you get the instant pot trivets the metal things that you placed in there. We have never mastered the cheesecake until now. I have found a recipe online and it’s perfect every time.
-
Momma Cyd says:
We used the metal trivet that came with the Instant Pot. Then used 4 ounce ramekins for the mini cheesecakes
-
Maria says:
Have you tried this recipe on mini springform pans?
-
Momma Cyd says:
We have only made this recipe as directed in the instructions. But I'm sure it would work with mini springform pans too.
