I've never heard of cheesecake made in the pressure cooker have you? Take a look at the link >

I think one thing that is key here is that it is the Instant Pot being used, although

in scanning the article she seems to have also done a regular pressure cooker cookbook and a cheesecake.
Our kids LOVE the Instant Pot and this looks pretty interesting. My old favorite (regular) cheesecake has a sour cream topping like this. Good stuff.

 
I've known Filipino and Cuban cooks who use pressure cookers to make flan. It's delicious and...

...you don't have to mess with a water bath and don't need an oven.

This may be similar?

How would you get it out cleanly? A crockpot is pretty deep and flipping a fragile

custard over from that high seems like it would crack it. What am I missing here? I can picture it cooking, but not releasing without cracking.

 
This is on my "to try" list. The PC cookbook I have

suggests a foil double sling underneath the springform pan to lower the pan in to the PC, and then remove the pan.
The recipes are very similar, yours has an extra egg yolk, 2 oz more cream cheese, and cooks longer, I guess due to the "extras."
The big difference is Laura says uncovered, and the recipe linked here is covered. Hmmm.....

I don't have an Instant Pot, my PC is a Cuisinart, bought about 5 years ago.
If I were buying today, I would probably pick the instant pot or the Breville.
The lid on the Cuisinart is sometimes tricky to seat properly. Otherwise does a fine job.

Cookbook is Hip Pressure Cooking. I like it. The Coq au Vin recipe was superb.

I will let you know if I make it, Maria.

 
ooh....I was thinking it was baked directly IN the ceramic crock itself

I don't think my 5.5 QT crock pot would fit a round pan to use it as a water bath.

 
Sure, they are similar--both bound with eggs, custard, no? I have made pressure flan. . .

and it is VERY simple and VERY delicious. Hardest thing is to make the caramel!

As for a pressure cooked cheese cake, as mentioned above, you cook in a separate, foil-sealed pan (or not seale, as you wish). I have not done a pressure cooked cheesecake, but I just might have to try it soon. Looks pretty simple.

My favorite cheesecake is one by Rose Levy Beranbaum, from her " Cake Bible" cookbook. It is cooked without a crust, in a water bath and it is, I think, fabulously tasty.
