What is In The Pecan Topping
You will find this pecan topping to be incredibly easy. Pecan halves, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream. It adds the perfect sweetness to this cheesecake and crunch factor that leaves you want one more bite.
Can I Make Instant Pot Cheesecake Ahead of Time
Absolutely. Instant Pot cheesecake needs time to cool and set up, so it is always best to make your cheesecake at least one day in advance. That way it has time to set up in the refrigerator. Just make your cheesecake and let it set up overnight and then you can assemble and serve.
If you don’t allow the cheesecake to set up it can be a bit mushy in texture, so always let it sit overnight.
How Long Is Instant Pot Pecan Cheesecake Good For
You can keep your cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to three days. Use your best judgment in terms of quality, and if in doubt toss it out.
Can You Freeze Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake
Yes, you can freeze the pecan pie cheesecake. I recommend leaving the nuts off as they will soften a bit once thawed. If you want to go ahead and freeze it altogether if you prefer. Just place in a freezer-friendly container and then freeze up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before you enjoy it.
