Instant Pot Carrot Cake Cheesecake Stuffed Bites
If you love carrot cake, then this bite recipe is a must. The Instant Pot cooks your carrot cake bites perfectly, and the cream cheese is such a fun treat to bite into.
How to Make
Step 1: Start by whipping up your cheesecake batter. You need to have softened cream cheese, that way you get that creamy texture you want.
Step 2: Now you will work on your carrot cake batter. Once you have it done, spray your egg bite mold and add water into your instant pot along with the trivet or you can use a silicone sling.
Step 3: Grease your egg bite mold, and then pour in a bit of your carrot cake batter followed by cheesecake, then topped with more carrot cake.
Step 4: Cover and cook in the Instant Pot as directed in the printable recipe card below. You will natural release for a bit once the timer goes off.
Once you remove from the Instant Pot, serve up warm for that ooey gooey creamy center or let them cool and place in the fridge to serve later. Warm or chilled these carrot cake cheesecake bites were phenomenal! They didn’t last long in our house.
How Many Bites Does This Recipe Make
I was able to get around 21 carrot cake bites. You can stack your egg bite molds on top of each other, I did 2 molds at a time. If you want you can double the recipe if you plan to serve a crowd go ahead and batch cook extra.
How to Store Cheesecake Carrot Cake Bites
Due to the cheesecake center you will want to store these bites in the fridge. The key is to allow them to cool down on a cooling rack, and then transfer to a sealable bag or airtight container.
They will store for up to 5 days. Like any cake they will dry out, so they are best to be eaten within the first few days.
Can You Freeze These Bites
Carrot cake bites do freeze well. You can allow them to fully cool on the counter. Then transfer into a sealable bag. Place them in the freezer for up to three months.
Thaw on the counter for 20-30 minutes for a quick thaw or place in the fridge and thaw them overnight for a slower thaw.

Hi Melissa, I’m Melissa too Do you cover each egg mold with foil before cooking and placing in the instapot?
Thank you, can’t wait to try!
Hi Melissa! you do not need to cover them with foil but you can if you prefer. I never remember to cover them and they always come out perfect.
Hi Melissa
Do I cover the mold with the lid it came with or am I cooking them in thr IP without covering them?
You can either cover or not. Many people cover theirs, I always forget so I never cover any of mine and they come out perfect.
