Special Supplies Used for Instant Pot Cheesecake with Gluten Free Crust
- 7-inch springform cheesecake cake pan | This is the most common cheesecake pan used for Instant Pot cheesecake recipes. It fits perfectly into both a 6-quart Instant Pot and 8-quart Instant Pot.
- Parchment paper rounds | We use parchment paper rounds on the bottom of the springform pan so the cheesecake is easier to remove from the bottom of the pan. With parchment paper, it is easy to lift the cheesecake off of the springform pan bottom and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Monk fruit sweetener | An essential sweetener for baking when you want to avoid processed sugar. It isn't always easy to find, depending on where you shop or the area you live in. I normally purchase this online for that reason. The link above will take you to Monk fruit sweetener on Amazon.
- Red silicone trivet | This is the trivet we use almost exclusively while cooking or 'baking' in the Instant Pot. It has handles, so it is easy to lift things out of the Instant Pot, or lower them into it.
- Almond flour | Almond flour is my go-to gluten-free crust substitute.

How to Make Berry Cheesecake
Make certain that you start by coating the springform pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper. Once done, set aside.
Start to make the crust by adding all the crust ingredients to a bowl and stirring. Push the crust crumbs into the bottom of the springform pan and spread until it's a single layer. Put in the freezer once done.
Make the cheesecake batter by beating the cream cheese (once at room temperature) on medium-low until blended. Do not overdo as this will bring in too much air for the batter.
Add in the remaining ingredients as directed in the recipe card below, and then pour the cheesecake batter into the springform pan (or push pan).

Variations to this Gluten Free Instant Pot Berry Cheesecake
The easiest way to vary up this cheesecake recipe is to change up the berries that you use. Try fresh berries when they're in season because they always have the best flavors and taste.

More Instant Pot Cheesecake Recipes
If you'd like to make any of the below cheesecakes gluten free, use the crust recipe in the recipe card below (for this recipe), and make any additional substitutions to keep the gluten out of your cheesecake while making an exceptionally tasty treat.
- Caramel Pecan Cheesecake | One of our favorite cheesecake recipes! Caramel and pecans are a tasty combination.
- Instant Pot S'mores Cheesecake | Ah s'mores! To make this recipe a gluten-free cheesecake, simply switch any ingredient that isn't naturally gluten-free to a gluten-free substitute.
- Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake | This cheesecake would be trickier to make a gluten-free version of, but there are gluten-free vanilla sandwich cookies and organic red beet supercolor powder is a good option for a more natural food coloring. You could use either the gluten free crust from this recipe, or use gluten free graham crackers.
Instant Pot Supplies
- Instant Pot Inner Pot - I like to have an extra inner pot available because of how much cooking I do in my Instant Pot. It comes in really handy when I want to put a lid on the inner pot and refrigerate the leftovers, or mix up ingredients the night before to save time at the end of the day.
- Silicone Lid for Instant Pot- I'm not sure how I lived without this one. Having a silicone lid for my Instant Pot has made life so much easier. It is perfect for adding ingredients a day or two ahead of time.
