Instant Pot Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake

 I will say I am favoring the Instant Pot version.  The cake comes out so moist and delicious.

What Is Dump Cake

Dump cake is usually a combination of canned fruit, with cherries and pineapples being some of the most preferred.  This cherry cheesecake will prove why it is one of the most preferred dump cakes.

It’s difficult to find dessert recipes that are easier to make than dump cake. With the exception of stirring the fruit, you really need to do very little to assemble this cake. 

Great Beginners Instant Pot Recipe

It’s a great recipe for beginning cooks, especially young ones. Even little kids can make dump cakes because they usually don’t have to measure ingredients.

What Flavor Of Cake Mix To Use

You are welcome to use any flavor of cake you prefer. White or yellow is what I tend to reach for but even a devil’s food would be a tasty combination. 

That’s one thing I love about dump cakes is you can raid the pantry and use what you have on hand to make a fantastic dessert. 

Can I Swap Cherry Pie Filling Out

If you want to use another type of pie filling go right ahead. Just like the cake mix you can adjust. Reach for whatever fruit you used in the frozen section, 

 

You could do a mixed berry with frozen berries, or blueberry with more frozen blueberries on top. The sky is the limit. 

Why Cook In Pot In Pot Method for Instant Pot Dump Cake

You need to do a pot-in-pot method because the Instant Pot has to have at least a cup of water for it to come to pressure. 

 

If you made your cake in the regular pot with the added water it would be soupy and a mess. 

 

What Type Of Pan To Make Instant Pot Dump Cake

You can use any round cake pan that is safe to use in your pressure cooker. Make sure that there is space around your Instant Pot pan and the pan you are cooking in.

 

You don’t want the sides to touch, there needs to be room. You can use glass or aluminum, just whatever you have on hand. 

 

How To Store Leftover Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake

Store any leftover cherry cheesecake dump cake in the refrigerator. Because of the fruit and cream cheese, you want it refrigerated or it spoils. 

 

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Eat leftovers cold or warm them up in the microwave or oven. 

 

Can You Freeze Leftover Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake

We normally don’t have much leftovers when I make this. The family gobbles it right up. 

 

I would think you could freeze this cake and it would be ok, sometimes dairy doesn’t freeze well. But since there isn’t a ton of cream cheese in the cake it should be safe. 

 

Place cake in airtight container and store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge the night before you want to eat. 

 

I hope you enjoy this sweet and easy Instant Pot dessert recipe!
