Cheesecake in the Pressure Cooker is the best cheesecake in the world!  This White Chocolate Raspberry version will completey steal your heart!

Ingredients

Scale

For Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Golden Oreo Cookies (I throw the whole package in a blender and then freeze or garnish with the extra crumbs)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

For Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese at room temperature (Philadelphia Brand if possible)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jelly
  • 1 oz white chocolate, coarsely chopped

For Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Spray a 7-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake once it’s done.
  2. To make crust:  Stir cookie crumbs and melted butter together and press evenly across the bottom and about 1/3 of the way up the side of the pan.  Place in the freezer to set, while you prepare the filling.
  3. To make cheesecake filling:  Cream the cream cheese and sugar with a handheld mixer until very smooth; scrape the bowl and mix again.  Add yogurt, vanilla, and flour and whisk until smooth.  Add eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix and scrape bowl as needed.  Be careful not to over whip!
  4. Microwave the raspberry jelly for about 20 seconds until it’s stirrable, but not hot and liquid.
  5. Remove the pan from the freezer and fill with half of the cheesecake mixture.  Drizzle half of the raspberry jelly over top along with half of the white chocolate chunks.  Use a knife to swirl it slightly.  Pour in the rest of the cheesecake mixture, drizzle with the remaining jelly and sprinkle with the rest of the white chocolate chunks.  Swirl with a knife.  Cover cheesecake with tinfoil to prevent moisture from dripping on the cheesecake.
  6. Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and place trivet inside.  Make a tinfoil sling for easy removal of the cheesecake and lower the prepared pan onto the trivet.  Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 40 minutes.
  7. To make the Whipped Cream Topping:  Pour heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla into a high speed blender and blend until cream thickens.  Can also be done with a hand held mixer.  Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
  8. When pressure cooking is complete, use a 10 minute natural release and then release any remaining pressure.
  9. Remove pan from pressure cooker and let cool for 10 minutes.  Slowly remove the springform ring, being careful not to break the crust of the cheesecake.  Place cheesecake in the refrigerator for at last 4 hours to chill all the way through, covering the cake once it has cooled completely.  Chilling over night is even better.
  10. When chilled, top with and decorate with the Whipped Cream Topping and return the cheesecake to the fridge until ready to serve.  Garnish with extra cookie crumbs and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

For White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake balls, omit the crust, and cook only the filling.  Once chilled, use a small ice cream scoop to form small balls and place on a platter.  Top each with a dollop of cream and a generous sprinkle of cookie crumbs.  They are a total show stopper, finger food, dessert.
