    Have you tried making a cheesecake in your Instant Pot yet? If not, I highly recommend it! Not only is it the perfect size, but the flavor is incredible! (Check out my other flavors here)

    With Valentine’s Day coming up, I decided to make a chocolate cheesecake last week. I topped mine with some drizzled chocolate and chopped strawberries, but you can choose whichever toppings you prefer!

    Since I have a 6-quart Instant Pot, I use a 7-inch springform pan and it fits perfectly! If you have a bigger/smaller Instant Pot, you may need to adjust accordingly!

    I made this while my hubby was at work and kids were at school, so they were quite surprised when I pulled this out for dessert. My oldest kiddo piled even more strawberries on top and dug in, while my daughter pushed all her strawberries to the side to enjoy the cake only, ha-ha!

    Not only is this cheesecake rich and creamy, but it is the perfect texture! I swear the Instant Pot makes everything better! If I’m being honest, I may even say this cheesecake is comparable (or slightly better) than Cheesecake Factory! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself and you’ll see!!

    If you are staying in on Valentine’s Day, or looking for a fun sweet treat to serve, definitely give this a go! You won’t regret it and may even want to make this a regular staple to your dessert plan!

    Enjoy this Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake and be sure to let me know what you think of it!

    I’d love to see pictures of your creations too, so use the hashtag #thecookinchicks on Instagram so I can check it out!
