    One of the reasons why your cheese cakes may not look the way that you would like, is that you need to mix in your eggs last. Do not mix long, just enough to incorporate them. This will keep your cheese cake from cracking.

    Hi I'm new and haven't received my instant pot yet but its supposed to be here before Christmas. I'm getting a 8 QT 9 in 1 and I'm ECSTATIC. I am supposed to make my mom a cheesecake for Christmas so I have done a ton of research. What I have learned is the key to smoothing it over is with a spatula and the biggest tip is set everything out earlier that day or put in a zip lock bag and submerge in hot water to soften evenly and fast. Hope it helps. I love your videos. Just found them today!

    I was doubtful of this recipe. I made it as per your directions this morning, but I halved the recipe to just make 3. I took them out of the fridge after supper and put some blackberry jam on 1 and left the other 2 plain, that's how my granddaughter likes them. These little cheesecakes were very tasty, much better than a lot of factory produced ones I normally eat. I was expecting the tops to crask as in your video, however the tops did not crack at all, all 3 kept there shape.
    Thanks for a great recipe for the instant pot. I will definately be making these again, and often.

    Apparently it cracks from the heat rapidly fluctuating, maybe leave it in the IP until it fully cools. Regular cheesecake should be left in the oven 1 hour to cool with the door slightly ajar. BTW for the holidays you must try biscoff cookie crust with pumpkin cheesecake filling😍

    I have only had my IP a couple weeks and only used it twice so far but have watched tons of videos. I have seen folks use a rubber spatula to stir and add the eggs last after everything else was combined to avoid the breaking. I have also seen that many folks cover with foil while cooking in the IP.

    You did a great job with this recipe if you are worried about the top of your cheesecakes try adding foil to the ramekins I hear that helps keep the moisture out and prevents cracking it doesn't matter to me good food no matter what awesome job Kristen 🙂

    I use the recipe from twin cities adventures, just reduce the salt, and leave it to NR a bit longer, has been perfect every time. And it’s more delicious if you can refrigerate 24-48 hours with just tinfoil covering the top.

    ?????When I am cooking "some" things in my Instant Pot, the pin lifts as it should, but….when the time starts to count down all of the steam comes out right where the top & bottom meet! When I take the lid off the seal ring appears not to have sealed in one spot! Not everything I am cooking does this! Is my seal ring bad & needs to be replaced? I make sure the ring is in properly. If you can help (or the viewing audience) I sure would appreciate it! Thank you Judie

    When you bake cheesecake place it on a sheet pan with a inch or so of water on it, keeps the cheesecake from cracking. I also have an awesome double layer cheesecake recipe where the bottom layer is traditional baked cheesecake but then topped with a no bake layer that is cream cheese & whip topping, this layer covers any imperfections and so so good!

    As mentioned in other comments, it's much better to beat the cream cheese batter (I add sour cream to mine), before adding the eggs. Put the beater on low when adding the eggs and only beat them until blended. Otherwise you end up with a "souffle" effect on the cheesecake, which causes the top to rise and crack. I don't believe covering with foil makes much of a difference in that regard. Otherwise, good show! [Another hint: before pressure cooking, but in the water and boil it with the Saute button. Let it come to a boil, then hit cancel, put in the cakes, and then pressure cook.] Keep up the great work!

    i don’t make cheesecake in the instant pot but when I bake one in the regular oven I put it in a water bath about halfway up a foil wrapped spring form pan. Then you don’t get cracks in the top.
    Make it a day before you plan to serve it

    The cheesecake recipe I used has a short high heat blast in the over for a short period and then lower heat for the remaining time. Never had a crack. I have wanted to try cheesecake in my IP and mini ones are a good option. 😉😉😉

    I recently made a cheesecake in the instant pot, and the secret to no cracking is room temperature eggs and cream cheese. Once the cheesecake came out of the instant pot I used a paper towel and carefully absorbed the water on top and then left it alone to cool. It was my first cheesecake in the ip and it was yummy. 😍
