Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ginger snaps crushed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Caramel

  • 15 pieces caramel candies
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions
 

  • Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom of your pan. Place in the bottom of the pan and spray paper and sides with a non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl combine finely chopped gingersnaps, sugar, and butter. Press into the bottom and up sides about 1-inch of a 9-inch springform pan. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  • In a mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, and flour. Mix on medium speed until combined and fluffy. Add eggs, eggnog, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix on low until thoroughly combined. Pour filling into crust.
  • Add 1 cup water to the bottom of Instant Pot. Cover cheesecake with foil, sealing edges. Place pan on the trivet that comes with the Instant Pot and lower it into the pot. Seal lid and set timer for 35 minutes on high pressure. Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish by manually releasing. Remove foil and allow cheesecake to cool completely.
  • Place caramels in a microwave-safe dish, add the water, and microwave in 20-second intervals until melted. Stir well. If too hot, allow to cool a bit and then drizzle over top of the cooled cheesecake.
