I love this recipe for Instant Pot Pecan Cheesecake with Chocolate Chips. Because when two of my favorites come together, it's always a good thing. Like chocolate and peanut butter. Or peanut butter and bananas. Or in this case, chocolate and pecans.
My favorite nut in the whole world is the pecan. I adore candied pecans, pecan pie, pecan rolls...the list is endless.
Like most of the world, I have quite the love affair with chocolate as well. This recipe marries together both of my delicious favorites in one creamy, delectable and irresistible dessert.

Supplies Needed to Make Instant Pot Cheesecake
- 6-inch by 3-inch Push Pan or 7-inch by 3-inch Push Pan- I recently started using a high push pan instead of a spring-form pan. In my opinion, the cheesecake looks amazing this way.
- Silicone Sling- This is an essential unless you want to make a sling out of foil every time you make a cheesecake or use a pan in the Instant Pot that needs to be lifted out.
- Large Decorating Tips- I used a decorating tip and reusable icing bag to pipe frosting onto the top of the cake. It gives the cake a prettier, more professional style.
- Reusable Decorating Bag- Do yourself a favor and invest in a nice reusable bag for decorating cakes and cupcakes. It works so much better than the disposable bags and is better for the environment. Even better, they are pretty inexpensive.
- Parchment Rounds- Pre-cut parchment rounds (and squares) are available in a variety of sizes depending on your needs. This can be a huge time-saver so you don't have to measure and cut a circle out.
