The Easiest Must Have Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
I love Oreos. Everything about them. And I love me some cheesecake. When I have the two of them together, it is one of my most favorite things. Since my Instant Pot is like my best friend in the kitchen, you know that I have to get it involved and use to make the easiest Oreo Cheesecake I have ever made.
Can I make this a low fat cheesecake?
Cheesecakes are not known for being low in fat or calories. It is one of the heaviest desserts when it comes to fat. This is what makes it so decadent and delicious. While you can not make this a low fat cheesecake, you can reduce some of the fat to make it a lower fat cheesecake. Try these easy ideas to make this cheesecake lower in fat.
- Fat free cream cheese – While many people use regular cream cheese, there is a light version as well as a fat free version. While the fat free cream cheese cuts out the fat, it doesn’t cut out the taste. 3 ounces of full fat cream cheese has 29 grams of fat. Since this recipe calls for 16 ounces of cream cheese, that is a significant amount of fat being removed.
- Sour Cream – There are several versions of sour cream. There is full fat and then there is light sour cream. One way to reduce the fat is to light sour cream, but if you want to make a bigger impact, swap the sour cream for fat free plain Greek Yogurt. Not only does this cut the fat it is also packed with protein.
- Light Butter – One last way to make this cheesecake lower in fat and calories is to use a light butter. This will reduce more of the fat without compromising on taste.
While these methods will not remove all of the fat from this Oreo Cheesecake, it will certainly make it very close to a low fat cheesecake recipe.
Can I Make Mini Cheesecakes in the Instant Pot?
You can make mini cheesecakes in the Instant Pot as easily as you can make a full size cheesecake. When making mini cheesecakes in the Instant Pot you will want to make the cakes in small containers. Some mini pan ideas you can use are:
- Ramekins: These are small dessert dishes that are about 3.5 inches. These are often used for things like creme brulee or single serve custards.
- Oven Safe Mugs: Oven safe mugs are another great option to use in the Instant Pot when making mini cheesecakes.
- Mini Mason Jars: Mason jars are designed to go into pressure cookers since this is how many people can food. The mason jars not only are safe to use, it looks great when you are serving desserts. You will want the small or mini-sized mason jars
What is the Best Instant Pot Cheesecake Pan
When you are making cheesecake, whether it is in the oven or in the Instant Pot, you will want to make it in a springform pan. This is a pan that has a bottom that detaches from the sides. The rounded walls of the pan expand and close by a latch on the side. This makes it easy to get to the cheesecake. You assemble the pan before adding the crust or the filling. Once you bake the cheesecake and it has cooled, you unlatch the sides and it slides off the cake, leaving the cheesecake on the hard bottom of the pan. When you are using this in the Instant Pot, you just need to make sure you have a pan that fits into the cooking sleeve of the Instant Pot.
Ingredients for Cookies and Cream Cheesecake

- butter
- salt
- Cream cheese
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs
- Sour cream

How to Make Oreo Cookie Cheesecake in the Instant Pot
Place 16 Oreos, 3 tbsp of melted butter and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Blend until completely combined.
Add the crumbs to a well greased 6 inch springform pan.
Use the bottom of a greased cup to press the crumbs into a solid crust on the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
Place the crust in the freezer to set for at least 20 minutes.
Mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, all purpose flour, and vanilla extract until well combined, smooth and creamy.
Crush up 10 Oreos, and stir them into the filling mixture.
Pour the filling mixture into the set crust in the springform pan.
Fold a piece of aluminum foil into a long thin strip, and lay across the bottom of the Instant Pot, and up the sides to the top. This will be used as a sling to help you remove the springform pan when the cooking is done, and it is hot.
Place 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Put the filled springform pan into the bottom of the Instant Pot, and close the lid, making sure the release valve is set to the sealing position.
Set the Instant Pot to the manual setting for 37 minutes, and then allow the Instant Pot to manually release for 10 minutes after the cook time is over. Once done, flip the release valve to the venting position, and remove the lid.
Place the cheesecake in the springform pan into the fridge for at least 5 hours, or even overnight.
When ready to serve, top the cheesecake with a thick layer of whipped cream, crushed Oreos and chocolate syrup.
Enjoy!!
