Salted Caramel Cheesecake in the Instant Pot

-


Oh how I loved this cheesecake! :) Oh how my family loved it! It was gone in no time. I'm actually glad that the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker, 6Qt/1000W makes a small cheesecake. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing for the hips! Ha, ha.. To make a cheesecake in the Instant Pot you will need a Springform Cake Pan, MCIRCO 7 Inches.


I made this 7”'s of amazing-ness from this recipe: http://cookiesandcups.com/instant-pot-salted-caramel-cheesecake-2/


I gathered together all my ingredients....



I made the crust first. The crust uses Ritz crackers and it was a perfect compliment to the sweet goodness. The recipe also has you line the bottom of your pan with parchment paper. This was a good thing. The last cheesecake I made I did not do that and just sprayed with non-stick spray (I use:Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Cooking Spray, 5-Ounce Can ). The parchment paper and spray combo made it even easier to remove pieces from the pan.




After the crust was done I mixed up the cheesecake and poured it into my pan. The above recipe has you put a paper towel on the bottom of the pan and then a layer of foil over it. This was also a good idea. And you will need to make a foil sling to be able to set your cheesecake into the instant pot...





I covered the top of with another piece of foil because moisture does collect on the top. Lower the cheesecake into your IP on top of the trivet...



Set it on Manual and cook for 35 minutes..




Pull it out, let it cool down and then put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. I put mine in overnight...




When ready to serve, remove from pan and drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake. I purchased caramel sauce in the grocery store. It was ice cream topping. And while it was good, I know there are better quality caramel sauces available. Next time I will buy a better brand or I will search for a good homemade sauce recipe to use. The sauce really helps to make this amazing.




Regardless, everyone in my house at it all up in no time at all!!

    Yes, the pictures show the springform pan.. you make a sling out of foil to lower the pan on and remove it when it's done cooking. I've never tried just using parchment paper.. seems like it might be difficult to do.. but not sure.. Crystal 🙂

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-
Image
Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this ...

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine...

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my ...
