All Things about My Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
While I do love a traditional oven baked cheesecake, this Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake sure does give it a run for its money! Starting with a crushed Oreo crust, this creamy smooth cheesecake also packs chopped Oreo cookies for a delicious crunchy contrast, then topped off with a decadent chocolate ganache and oreo cookie decoration!
Just describing this Oreo cheesecake has my mouth watering and considering that it can be fully cooked and served up in less than an hour makes this Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake Recipe a MUST-try!
How to Store the Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake (IF you didn’t eat it all!)
This Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake can be stored for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also extend storage time by freezing this cheesecake for up to 1 month.
A helpful trick to being able to enjoy individual slices of this cheesecake when storing in the freezer is to first flash freeze the cheesecake for about 2 hours till it hardens and then wrap individual slices of the cake in plastic wrap to be stored in an airtight container.
That way, you get to thaw the exact amount of cheesecake you want at any given time without having to defrost the majority of the cake!
Should You Leave the Oreo Cheesecake Sit Out for Long?
No, not for an extended amount of time. While this cheesecake could sit out at room temperature for up to 1 hour, I always make sure to store any cheesecake (whether baked or a no-bake recipe) in the refrigerator when it’s not being served.
The reason for this is due to the fact that all cheesecake recipes contain cream-based ingredients which will spoil if left at room temperature for extended amounts of time.
Variations of My Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
- For a vanilla Oreo cheesecake, make use of Golden Oreos for the cheesecake crust, batter, and decoration.
- Chocolate shavings and sprinkles add to the decadence of this Oreo cheesecake too. A drizzle of chocolate syrup would also be super delicious!
- Change your milk chocolate ganache to a white chocolate ganache by simply using white chocolate chips instead of the milk chocolate chips.
- Make a boozy Oreo cheesecake by adding in ¼ cup of Baileys Irish Cream into the batter mixture and 2 Tablespoons into the chocolate ganache!
Tips for Making my Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake
- I recommend allowing your cream cheese to reach room temperature before making the batter as it will help create a smoother texture for your cheesecake since it’s easier to mix in with the other ingredients.
- If you’ve ever eaten a runny cheesecake, most of the time it’s due to the use of low-fat ingredients being used. If you want a sturdy, smooth and creamy cheesecake then don’t use anything else than full-fat ingredients.
- Purchase the cream cheese that you find in block form, not the tub variety. There is a big difference in the outcome of your cheesecake between these two. The cream cheese block is the real deal for any cheesecake lover who wants things done right!
- Easily make your cheesecake crust and filling in advance and refrigerate them separately for 1-2 days or freeze them for longer. That way, you won’t have to start from scratch, especially if you know you’re going to be busy.
