Tips for Making the Best Instant Pot Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake
Making the Perfect Crust. Make the whole crust mixture in a food processor if you have one. It is quick and gives you the perfect wet sand consistency without spending time on it.
Putting the crust in the fridge hardens the butter back up and makes the crust solid.
No Sling? No Problem! If you don’t have a sling you can make your own with foil. Just make sure to place your cheesecake on a trivet so it doesn’t touch the bottom.
Want More Protection? I didn’t put it in the formal directions but I like wrapping my cheesecake pan bottom with foil. Gives me an added layer of protection.
Don’t waste the leftover pumpkin puree check out these great ways to use it up.
