Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Cheesecake
I love how delicious this Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Cheesecake turned out! My pressure cooked Raspberry Peach Cheesecake has a crunchy vanilla wafer crust, filled with creamy raspberry peach cheesecake mixture and topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting.
I lived most of my life in the dirt roads down in Georgia. If there’s only one thing you know about Georgia, it’s that the Walking Dead is filmed there. I’m kidding! We all know that Georgia is known as the “peach state”. While I was living in Georgia, I developed a love for peaches (and pecans, and Vidalia Sweet onions, and Boiled Peanuts, and….Especially fresh peaches right off the trees.
This Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Cheesecake is the perfect summertime dessert. It’s creamy, sweet and bursting with fresh fruit flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Cheesecake
Do I need to drain canned peaches?
Yes! You need to drain your canned peaches if you are using them instead of fresh, especially those stored in their own juices. Be sure to continue to set aside your one cup for the topping. If your slices are very large you can also cut them in half to make them slightly smaller for your cheesecake.
Should I thaw frozen peaches first?
There is no need to thaw the peaches that are going inside your cheesecake first. However, you will want to thaw the peaches for the top of your cheese before topping your cheesecake.
Can I freeze Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Cheesecake?
Absolutely, you can freeze your cheesecake. Be sure to tightly cover your cheesecake in an airtight container or in a freezer safe bag to freeze. I do recommend that you freeze your cheesecake without the frosting and toppings. You will also want to freeze your cheesecake AFTER it has been baked. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight.

Cooking Tips
- I prefer using a food processor to crush my vanilla wafers for my crust. If you do not have a food processor you could also place them in a storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Make sure your cold ingredients are room temperature before starting.
