Ingredients

Crust

  • • 15 Nutter Butter cookies crumbed
  • • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Filling

  • • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • • ¼ sour cream
  • • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Grease the sides and bottoms of a 6-inch push pan and line the pan with a
    parchment round. Also line the sides of the pan with parchment paper. This will help in sticking and a smooth removal of cheesecake.
  • In a food processor, combine Nutter Butter cookies and melted butter and pulse to mix ingredients. Then, press crust out on the bottom of
    the pan and ½ way up the sides. You can use the bottom of a glass
    to press down the crust.
  • Place pan in the freezer while making the filling. Freezing will help hold
    the crust together.
  • Mix the cream cheese and granulated sugar until nice and smooth, and
    then add in one egg at a time while mixing in between adding the
    eggs.

  • Add in the peanut butter, flour, sour cream, and vanilla and mix to
    incorporate.
  • Pour the filling into the push pan and tap the pan several times on the
    counter to remove air bubbles. You can also run a fork or knife
    through the cheesecake filling to remove air bubbles.
  • Cover the cheesecake with aluminum foil and/or a paper towel to prevent
    condensation from accumulating on the top of the cheesecake.
  • Add 1 ½ cups of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
  • Using a sling (you can buy a sling for the Instant Pot or make one out of
    foil), lower the pan into the inner pot.
  • Close the lid and set for a manual high-pressure cooking time of 30 minutes.
    Allow for a natural pressure release when the cooking time has finished.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the Instant Pot. Take the foil off of the top
    and gently soak up any condensation that has formed on the top of
    the cheesecake with a paper towel or flour sack towel.
  • Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before
    refrigerating for 12 hours or overnight.
  • After 12 hours, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and set the
    pan on top of a large can. Push the sides of the cake pan down, slowly.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the pan bottom, and set on a cake plate or
    serving tray. Top with a peanut butter buttercream frosting if desired and Nutter Butter cookie pieces.
