01 Step

Recipe View In a food processor, pulse together graham crackers, 2 teaspoons white sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Pour in melted butter; pulse until fine crumbs form. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 6-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the freezer to set the crust for 20 minutes.

Recipe View In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-low speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes. Gradually add 2/3 cup sugar and salt; continue to mix for 4 minutes more. Incorporate vanilla extract and lemon zest; mix for 1 minute.

Recipe View Crack one egg into the batter; mix for 1 minute. Add the remaining egg; mix for another minute. Gently stir in sour cream until just combined, about 1 minute. Pour the batter into the prepared crust-lined pan. Tent loosely with aluminum foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cheesecake.

Recipe View Gently remove the cheesecake from the Instant Pot. The edges should be set, and the center should still jiggle slightly when shaken. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best flavor and texture.

For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the batter.
Do not overmix the batter after adding the eggs, as this can cause the cheesecake to crack.
If you don't have a 6-inch springform pan, you can use a slightly larger one, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
To prevent a soggy crust, wrap the bottom of the springform pan tightly with foil before placing it in the Instant Pot.
