Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
  • 4 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup hot strongly brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup bittersweet chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli® 60%)
  • 2 teaspoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Prepare 3 (4-inch) heart-shaped springform pans by wrapping the outside with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl, tossing to coat. Press mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pans.

Step 3
Beat cream cheese with a fork in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating with the fork until well blended. Add egg and mix well.

Step 4
Pour hot coffee over chocolate chips in a small bowl. Stir until melted and smooth. Add to cream cheese mixture and blend well. Stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and salt; mix until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pans.

Step 5
Pour 1 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Place a steamer rack in the bottom and place 2 batter-filled pans on the rack. Top with another steamer rack and add the remaining batter-filled pan. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 6
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.

Step 7
Remove the pans from the pot and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate 8 hours to overnight. Release cheesecakes from the springform pans and top as desired before serving.

Cook’s Note:

Using a fork to mix the batter helps avoid air bubbles.
