Keto Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheese cake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and melted butter for the crust.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 7-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and heavy cream, continuing to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold the unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is evenly chocolatey.
- If desired, fold the sugar-free chocolate chips for a burst of chocolate goodness.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, ensuring it's sealed well to prevent moisture from entering.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Carefully place the covered cheesecake pan onto the trivet.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, followed by a natural release for 15 minutes. After that, release any remaining pressure and carefully remove the cheesecake from the Instant Pot.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before setting it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan once it is fully chilled and set.
- Slice and serve the easy Keto Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake, savoring every heavenly bite of its creamy, chocolatey bliss.
