Skinny No Bake Cheesecake

July 9, 2023 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about anywhere else, but this week it is hot Hot HOT here in Austin, Texas. We’re talking triple digits as far as the eye can see. This means that my oven (and sometimes even my stove) are on lockdown. This means almost nothing is baked. The oven isn’t turned on for any reason.

That leads us into no heat and no bake recipes for the majority of our meals, snacks, and desserts. That’s where this Skinny No Bake Cheesecake. I’ve made a traditional style of cheese cake. I’ve made a dip version. I’ve even made one in the instant pot. Now? It’s time for a no bake cheesecake!…

Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites

February 24, 2023 Amanda Plott

I know that I’ve made mini cheesecakes in the instant pot before, but I still have some strawberry powder and strawberry cheesecake crumbs that I need to use up and for whatever ever reason it just seemed fitting to put them together in these Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites.

The way I was able to pack so much strawberry flavor into these cheesecakes was to use a strawberry powder. It’s basically freeze dried strawberries that have been ground down to a fine powder. That’s it. That’s all. Nothing more added than that - no added colors or artificial flavors there. Just pure strawberry goodness!…

Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake

October 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

With Halloween this week, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to play around with a new cheesecake recipe. Desserts around the holidays are always a source of debate in our family. What to make, who’s making it, and when to eat it. I’ve got a handful of favorites to serve around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I also like to come up with new ideas to throw out there. This Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake is definitely going in as a suggestion.

It’s pretty easy to make, especially for a cheesecake. The instant pot does the most of the work and quickly too. As it turns out, a pressure cooker is a really efficient way to make cheesecakes! This one though, kind of combines a cheesecake with a pecan pie, so it’s basically the best of both worlds…
