The key to any Instant Pot Cheesecake is to get a quality springform pan. I used a 6 inch pan in this recipe but you can easily use a 7 inch pan as well. I recommend this springform pan to use with your Instant Pot. It has great reviews on Amazon and comes with a cleaning cloth.

Filling Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 blocks (12 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar

Directions:
Add graham crackers to a food processor and process for 20 seconds or until fine crumbs form. Add butter and sugar if using and process for 5 seconds until mixed well.
Pour crust into a 6″ springform pan and use a tart shaper or back of spoon to flatten. Set aside.
Rinse the food processor bowl and blade. Add cream cheese and sugar and process until smooth, about 10 seconds. You may have to scrape down the side of the bowl once. Add eggs and process for 10 seconds or until mixed well. Add whipping cream, vanilla, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Process 10 seconds or until mixed well. Pour into prepared crust.
