    Bake the Instant Pot Keto Cheesecake

    The Instant pot bakes a perfect cheesecake. However, you can still bake this in your oven.

    Oven Method: If baking in your oven, follow the mixing directions below except preheat your oven to 275 F. After filling the springform with the cheesecake filling, set in the oven center rack and bake low and slow for 1 hour 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before refrigerating.

    2. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and lock into place. Select the "Manual" setting and program for "High" and "30 minutes".
    3. When the Instant Pot beeps, allow a natural release until the pin drops. Carefully remove the lid, and remove the cheesecake using the trivet handles with potholders. Let cool on the counter for 15 minute, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for 4 hours, garnish with strawberries, and serve!

    • Springform Pan, 7"
    • Instant Pot Trivet set
    • Swerve Granulated sugar substitute

    Storage

    Store any leftover strawberry keto cheesecake covered in the refrigerator. You can freeze it also, but slice it first.

    Tips for Success

    • Oven Method: If baking this keto cheesecake recipe in your oven, follow the mixing directions except preheat your oven to 275 F. After filling the springform with the cheesecake filling, set in the oven center rack and bake low and slow for 1 hour 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before refrigerating.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to use a bain marie for this if I use the Oven Method?

    Of course you can, but if you bake low and slow you don't have to. 275 F, at 1 hour and 45 minutes will give you similar results as using a bain marie.

    There are 18 net carbs in ⅙ of this Keto Cheesecake.
