Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F just to bake the crust right. Mix graham cracker crumbs with 3 tablespoons sugar and melted butter.
  • Press it firmly into your 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. When done, pull out and let chill while preparing the filling.
  • Toss fresh strawberries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth. Set aside for topping.
  • Melt white chocolate gently and let cool slightly.
  • Beat cream cheese and 1 ½ cups sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well.
  • Slowly crack in eggs one by one, keeping the mixer low after each to maintain smoothness.
  • Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust. Dollop half the strawberry puree and drizzle half the melted white chocolate over it.
  • Pour the remaining batter and repeat the layers with strawberry puree and white chocolate drizzle.
  • Use a knife to gently swirl the layers to create a marbled look.
  • Place the pan in the pressure cooker on a trivet with 1 cup broth for correct depth.
  • Lock the lid, set pressure to high, and cook for 35 minutes.
  • Let it natural release for 15 minutes before slow releasing leftover pressure and carefully opening the lid.
  • Cool the cheesecake in the cooker with lid off for a bit, then chill in fridge at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Optional: Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter tang.
  • Optional: Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain before using.
  • Optional: Skip oven step for crust by pressing into pan, then thaw and test for firmness after pressure cooking.
  • Enjoy the creamy, rich cheesecake and store leftovers wrapped tightly in fridge up to 5 days or frozen up to 2 months.

Notes

Serve chilled. Wrap leftovers tightly to keep fresh. Freezing individual slices makes for easy grab-and-go treats.
