 This Low Carb -Keto  Instant Pot Cheesecake is one of the best I’ve ever had. It is so rich and creamy. I would never have guessed it was a low carb recipe, had I not made it myself. Being made with heavy whipping cream, it has the texture if of a NY Style cheesecake.

Cheesecake has to be one of my all-time favorite desserts. Normally, I do no-bake cheesecakes like The Best No -Bake Cherry Cheesecake. However, I wanted to try making one in the instant pot. Up to this point it had only been used for Soups Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Instant Pot or dinners Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner. However, now that this cheesecake came out so good, the possibilities are endless.

It was amazing to me how much this low carb -keto instant pot cheesecake tasted like a normal cheesecake. A lot of low carbs, sugar-free,  or keto desserts have a nasty after taste, left from the artificial sweetener.  This definitely did not. Monk fruit was used for this recipe, however, if you have another sweetener you prefer, it could be substituted.

For this cheesecake recipe, you’ll need a round pan that’s six inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. It can either be a pan with a removable bottom or a springform pan.  6 inches is as big as would fit in my instant pot. The sides and bottom of the pan should be lined with parchment paper,  making no greasing needed. Also, You’ will need the trivet that came with your Instant Pot or a steam rack with handles. However, if yours doesn’t have handles, you can make a sling out of foil to help you transfer the cheesecake out of the Instant Pot when it’s done.

Using almond flour for the crust kept it low carb and gotta say it was sweet and tasted like a normal graham cracker crust.

How To Make The Low Carb Keto Instant Pot Cheese Cake :

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

For The Crust :

• Blanched Almond Flour-
• Monk Fruit or Choice of Sweetener 
• Salted Butter 

For The Filling :

• Cream Cheese
• Powdered Monk Fruit or Choice of Sweetener
• Eggs
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Lemon Juice 
• Vanilla Extract
• Strawberries for Topping (Optional

Instructions  For Making The Cheesecake:

1. 30 Minutes Prior -Remove cold ingredients (cream cheese, eggs, heavy cream) from the refrigerator and allow them to warm to room temperature. 
2.  Next Prepare a steam rack or the trivet that came with your pressure cooker, ideally with lifting handles.( you can make a sling with foil if need be )
3. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with separate pieces of parchment paper

Making the Crust :

1. Combine melted butter and monk fruit in a mixing bowl, stir well, slowly add almond flour, stirring until the butter is absorbed and forms a dough.
2. Transfer the dough to your cheesecake pan. Use a spoon or a cup to firmly press down to form a flat and smooth crust covering the entire bottom of the pan.
3. Place in freezer to firm up well you make the filling

The Filling :

1.  In a large mixing bowl. add softened cream cheese and powdered monk fruit. Use a hand mixer to beat on low speed until well-mixed, around  1 minute.
2. Next add heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until smooth, about 30-60  seconds.
3. Add the eggs one at a time,  using an electric mixer on the low-speed beat until just combined, about 30 seconds each. Don’t overmix the eggs.
4. Remove the pan with the chilled crust from the freezer. Pour the filling on to the crust, careful not to leave trapped air gaps. Flatten the surface using a spatula. I tapped pan on the counter a couple of times to remove air bubbles

Cook and Cool :

1. Add water to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the trivet over the water, with its handles resting on the sides of the pot. Place the cheesecake pan on top of the trivet.                                                                                                                                                              
2. Secure and seal the lid. Cook for 30 minutes at high pressure, then a 15-minute natural release. Manually release any remaining pressure by gradually turning the release knob to its venting position.                                                                                                    
3. Carefully lift the lid to avoid dripping condensation on the cheesecake. Also , if needed, use a paper towel to carefully dab at the cheesecake to absorb any condensation on its surface. Turn off the pressure cooker.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
4. Let the cheesecake cool uncovered in the pressure cooker. After about an hour, lift it from the pot using the trivet’s handles to continue to cool on the countertop.  
5. After the cheesecake has cooled, loosely place a paper towel over the pan and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. be sure  not  to seal tightly because the cheesecake needs to dehydrate 
6.  Carefully remove the chilled cheesecake from the pan. Peel off the parchment paper. Slice and serve   – Optional Strawberries
