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
