  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • 2 eggs

  • press in the bottom of a 6 inch srpingform pan
  • cover bottom of pan and sides with foil

Cheesecake

  • mix the cream cheese and sugar together until as smooth as possible, do not beat it
  • add the vanilla and yogurt, stirring never beating
  • add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, avoid beating in a bunch of air, you just want to combine the ingredients
  • pour in the prepared crust
  • cover with more foil
  • put one cup of water in the inner pot of the Instant Pot and then the wire rack trivet
  • if you need to make a little foil sling that goes under the pan to help lift it out of the pot
  • place lid on the pot, turn the release valve to closed
  • press manual pressure, high and set timer for 37 minutes for a 6 inch cake, 35 minutes for a 7 inch cake
  • when the timer goes off, let it sit 10 minutes on natural release an then turn it to quick release
  • peel off the foil and check the cake, the center should be jiggly but the outer 2 inches or so should be firmer
  • if you think it's too jiggly, cover it again, reset the pot for 2-3 more minutes
  • when finished removed all the foil, let cheesecake cool at room temperature for 2 hours and then put it in the fridge to until completely cool, it's best to let it rest at least 12 hours before slicing
  • run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen it and then open the springform pan
  • add fruit to the top if desired
