How I miniaturized this Instant Pot Cheesecake Recipe
A few weeks ago my daughter was looking to make a treat for her secret sister for camp. We were reading through what her secret sister’s likes were and her favorite treat was “cheesecake”
We figured a normal sized cheesecake might be a hard gift to take to girls camp so I recommend some bites sized cheesecakes (I have these mini cheesecakes on my blog already).
As we were getting ready to make them I spotted my silicone molds I used for these egg bites and thought – I bet those would work great for cheesecake bites! And I loved the texture of the instant pot cheesecake I had already made.
Using my dense and creamy classic cheesecake recipe as our starting point we decided to give it a try. They turned out AMAZING!!!
We ended up making 4 different flavors – classic, oreo, caramel and peanut butter cup – but I’m sure we’ll soon try all of my cheeecake recipes!!

Tips to Make the Perfect Mini Cheesecake Bite
-Room temperate ingredients are key for a smooth texture.
-Beat the cream cheese and sugar as much as you want, scrap the sides and make sure the batter is smooth. Once you add the eggs, do NOT overbeat, just mix on low until they are barely incorporated; beating after you add the eggs is what often leads to cracking.
-Cover your cheesecake molds with a paper towel, then cover in foil. The paper towel will soak up excess liquid, but might leave a paper towel imprint if your cheesecake rises and touches the top – easy to cover with the sour cream topping.
-You can leave the paper towel off and only use the foil; but then you’ll need to dab condensation off the cheesecake after it’s cooled.
-The topping is optional, but I recommend it – it covers any imperfections and tastes amazing.
-Do NOT eat it right away, cheesecake sets and gets BETTER with time in the fridge, at LEAST 4 hours.
-You can freeze cheesecake! You can freeze these bites, then dip it in chocolate!!! seriously so good!
-Don’t pop out the cheesecake bites until after it has cooled completely in the fridge as it needs the time to set to become firm.
-This cheesecake is good with my berry coulis, or cherry pie filling, or any manner of berry!
To make these Instant Pot Cheesecake Bites you’ll need
- A pressure cooker – I use this 8 quart instant pot
- Silicone molds – I use this 9 cup one – if you are using a smaller instant pot you’ll need these smaller 7 cup molds
- a trivit sling to hold the mold away from the bottom of the instant pot as well as make it easy to take out the molds when finished
- medium cookie scoop – for crust
- large cookie scoop for cheesecake
