Step-by-step
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature.
- In your food processor or blender, add all ingredients: lemon juice, extract, sour cream, swerve, and cream cheese. Add them in this order, with the liquid ingredients at the bottom to help the blades move easily.
- Gently but thoroughly blend all ingredients, scraping down as needed.
- Add both eggs together and at this point, blend only as long as you need to, in order to get them well-incorporated, about 20-30 seconds. Your mixture will be pourably liquid by now.
- Take a 6-inch springform pan and line the sides with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan.
- Cover the pan with foil.
- Place a trivet in the Instant Pot or Pressure cooker. Ideally, you want a trivet with handles you can lift out. If you don't have a trivet with a handle, create a sling with a piece of foil.
- Add 1 cup of water into Instant Pot.
- Place the foil-covered pan on top of the trivet.
- Close the lid, set on high pressure for 20 minutes, let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. Then, release all remaining pressure.
- Mix up the sour cream and swerve for the topping.
- Take out the cheesecake and spread the topping all over it. Add sliced berries to the top if desired.
- Put it in the fridge and leave it alone. Let it chill.
- When ready to serve, pull out parchment paper, unbuckle the sides of your springform pan, and serve on top of the pan bottom.
My Unexpected Keto Cheesecake Journey: A Busy Mom's Culinary Adventure
Life as a working mom is a whirlwind. Between juggling deadlines, school pick-ups, and endless to-do lists, finding time for anything beyond the bare essentials feels like a luxury. Cooking, especially baking, often takes a backseat. Yet, I've always had a deep-seated love for desserts. The sweet indulgence, the comforting ritual of creating something delicious – it's a small piece of self-care I desperately crave, even if it often feels impossible to achieve. So, when I stumbled across a keto cheesecake recipe promising quick and easy results using my Instant Pot, my interest was piqued.
Initially, I was skeptical. Keto? Instant Pot? Could this truly deliver the creamy, decadent cheesecake experience I craved without hours of effort in the kitchen? I had limited experience with keto baking, mainly because I assumed it required a mountain of specialized ingredients and hours of careful measurements. To my surprise, this recipe was refreshingly straightforward. The ingredient list was surprisingly simple, and the step-by-step instructions were easy to follow, even for someone who usually relies on pre-made mixes.
The process was surprisingly stress-free. The Instant Pot did most of the heavy lifting, allowing me to multitask, answering emails while the cheesecake magically cooked itself. The anticipation was palpable; I checked on it frequently during the pressure-release phase, anxiously awaiting the moment I could finally indulge in my creation. When it was done, the aroma that wafted through the kitchen was incredible – a comforting blend of creamy sweetness and tangy lemon. The texture was surprisingly smooth and rich, unlike any keto dessert I'd tried before.
This recipe became an unexpected success, a delicious beacon in my busy life. The ease of preparation was a game-changer, fitting perfectly into my fast-paced schedule. I no longer felt guilty about indulging in a delicious treat, knowing it was also a low-carb option that didn't derail my fitness goals. More importantly, it reminded me that even amidst chaos, taking a few moments to enjoy simple pleasures like baking is important. It's a small act of self-care that brings a burst of joy and a sense of accomplishment, proving that even the busiest of moms can find time to create something delicious and satisfying.
The Instant Pot Keto Cheesecake recipe became more than just a dessert; it became a symbol of balance in my life.

And it's a recipe that I wholeheartedly recommend to all my fellow busy moms (and anyone else seeking a quick, delicious, and low-carb dessert!). You won't regret it.
Beyond my personal experience, the beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. You can easily adapt it to suit your tastes. Fancy a different type of berry? Go for it! Prefer a different sweetener? Experiment and find what works best for you. The recipe is a jumping-off point, a foundation for culinary creativity. It's a reminder that even within the constraints of a specific diet, there is ample room for personal expression and delicious discoveries.
