I made a half-recipe of this in my Instant Pot Mini for our Christmas gathering. It was a hit. For the record, I used Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese, and it worked well. Also for the record, my 25-year-old nephew informed me that I need to make two cheesecakes next time. I think it's so he'll be able to take one home with him.
Thank you for the mention. I'm so glad you like this recipe. For Thanksgiving, I wanted a pumpkin cheesecake so I changed this a little. Instead of the sour cream, I used 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, (homemade, of course. In the instant pot) added, 1 tablespoon of chopped, crystallized ginger, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves. Because of the added liquid, I increased the cooking time to 40 minutes. It turned out great. Because this cheesecake is so easy to make, I make it regularly just for us.
BTW, the crystallized ginger was also homemade. I made it in my instant pot.
