Pressure Cooker Cheesecake in the Zavor DUO
⭐ Why Make Cheesecake in a Pressure Cooker?
The Zavor DUO’s moist, steamy environment gives you a perfectly smooth, creamy texture — better than baking in the oven! Plus, it’s faster and more forgiving.
🛒 Ingredients
For the crust:
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7–8 crackers, crushed)
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
2 tbsp sugar
For the filling:
-
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup sugar
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
½ cup sour cream
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for extra firmness)
🍽️ Equipment
-
Zavor DUO pressure cooker (6 or 10-quart)
-
7-inch springform pan or cheesecake pan that fits inside the DUO
-
Aluminum foil
-
Trivet or rack
🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the crust:
-
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until combined.
-
Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan (you can press slightly up the sides too).
-
Chill in the freezer while you make the filling.
2️⃣ Make the filling:
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
-
Stir in sour cream, vanilla, and flour (if using). Don’t overmix — just combine gently.
3️⃣ Assemble:
-
Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
-
Cover the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from dripping onto the cheesecake.
4️⃣ Prepare the pressure cooker:
-
Add 1½ cups water to the bottom of the Zavor DUO.
-
Place the trivet or rack inside.
-
Carefully lower the covered cheesecake onto the trivet.
5️⃣ Pressure cook:
-
Lock the lid and set the DUO to high pressure (15 psi) for 35 minutes.
-
When done, allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
6️⃣ Cool:
-
Remove the cheesecake from the pressure cooker and let it cool on a wire rack (leave it in the pan) for at least 1 hour.
-
Transfer to the fridge and chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
