Prepare the Oreo Crust
Place the Oreos into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs.

Pour crumb mixture into prepared pan and use a fork to pack the crumbs into a crust.
Place pan into freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Prepare the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
Rinse out the food processor from the cookie crumb mixture.
Add the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Pour creamy chocolate mixture into cream cheese mixture and pulse food processor to combine.
Add in the cocoa powder and pulse to incorporate.
Lastly, add the eggs. Pulse to combine, but be careful not to overmix. Only pulse until just combined.
Remove the pan from the freezer and pour cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.
Cover the pan with a paper towel, followed by a piece of tin foil on top of the paper towel, making sure to cinch the sides.
Lay the sling you made earlier on the counter and place the pan evenly on the center of it.
Carefully set the pan onto the metal trivet, with the sling under the pan. *fold the edges of the sling on top of the pan once set into Instant Pot
Cook the Cheesecake
Place Instant Pot lid securely on and ensure valve at top is in sealing position.
Cook on manual, high pressure, for 40 minutes, followed by a 20 minutes natural pressure release.
Once done, release any additional pressure and remove lid.
Use the sling to remove the pan carefully from your Instant Pot.
Allow cake to rest for about 5 minutes before removing foil/paper towel from top.
Once foil/paper towel have been removed, allow cake to cool for about an hour before placing in the refrigerator.
Chill for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy!
