Using a standing mixer, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy
Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and salt until combined
Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time until combined, use slow speed for this part, or it will overmix the batter.
Building and baking the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Place trivet into the pot of the instant pot, along with 1 ½ cup water.
Place the cheesecake onto the trivet and place the lid on the pot
Press manual/high pressure for 34 minutes, with a full natural release. This can take 15-20 minutes.
Once the cheesecake has cooled, remove from the pot and place on the counter to cool completely
Place into the fridge overnight to fully set up. Make sure to cover s’mores cheesecake.
Chocolate Ganache Directions
Pour chocolate chips into a heat safe bowl Pour heavy whipping cream over the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. You will heat in microwave or on a double boiler on stove.
Pour the gananch onto the top of the cheesecake and smooth evenly
Allow it to pool over the sides in a drip effect. Then allow to harden for 30 minutes.
Make homemade whipped cream and pipe dollops around the edge of the cheesecake
Pile up a mound of the s'more mix into the center of the s’mores cheesecake.
