Perfectly cooked using an Instant Pot, this decadent dessert features a cinnamon roll base topped with a smooth cheesecake layer, drizzled with buttery brown sugar glaze and finished with cinnamon roll icing for a delightful treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 2 cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Grease a 7-inch cheesecake pan or springform pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the cheesecake after cooking.
  2. Arrange cinnamon rolls: Unroll the cinnamon rolls and press them evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even base layer.
  3. Mix cheesecake ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add cream and spices: Incorporate sour cream, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly until combined.
  5. Pour filling over base: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon roll base in the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Prepare topping: Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a small bowl and drizzle this mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  7. Set up Instant Pot: Cover the pan with foil and add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the pan on the trivet and carefully lower it into the Instant Pot.
  8. Pressure cook: Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  9. Cool the cheesecake: Carefully remove the pan from the Instant Pot and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature to set.
  10. Refrigerate: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
  11. Serve with icing: Before serving, drizzle the cheesecake with the cinnamon roll icing that comes with the cans of cinnamon rolls for extra sweetness and decoration.

Notes

  • Make sure to fully grease the pan to prevent sticking.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not skip the natural release of pressure to avoid cracking the cheesecake.
  • Refrigeration time is crucial for the cheesecake to properly set and develop flavor.
  • Feel free to use sugar-free or low-fat cream cheese alternatives to reduce calories.
  • Check your Instant Pot model for exact water requirements and cooking times.
