The Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we get started, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• For the crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• For the cheesecake filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

• For the topping:

  • Your choice of fruit, chocolate, caramel, or whipped cream

Let’s Get Cooking

Now that we have everything, let’s get to the fun part!

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together. Press this mixture into the bottom of silicone cupcake liners, creating a firm base for your cheesecake bites.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating until it’s well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, flour, and sour cream. Beat this mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Fill the Liners

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the cupcake liners, filling them almost to the top.

Step 4: Cook in the Pressure Cooker

Place a trivet in the bottom of your pressure cooker and add a cup of water. Arrange the filled liners on the trivet. Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to high for 15 minutes. Once the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.

Step 5: Cool and Top

Remove the cheesecake bites from the pressure cooker and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, top them with your choice of fruit, chocolate, caramel, or whipped cream.
