Making a cheesecake might seem intimidating, but this recipe proves it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to the Instant Pot, your kitchen stays cool, your cheesecake stays creamy, and your stress stays low.

Every slice melts in your mouth while giving you that subtle crunch that makes it unforgettable. It’s what makes easy recipes like this so special—you get all the flavor, without all the fuss.
Tips for the Ultimate Butterfinger Experience
Crush the Butterfinger pieces gently to maintain a mix of fine and chunky textures. For an extra layer of indulgence, top the cooled cheesecake with whipped cream and more Butterfinger bits. Want to try something new? Swap the candy for Reese’s or Snickers for a fresh twist on your favorite dessert recipes.
Serving and Storing Your Masterpiece
Let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best flavor and texture. When ready to serve, slice with a hot knife for clean edges. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze individual slices for a future treat. That’s the beauty of easy recipes—they keep on giving.
Notes & Tips
Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing for a smooth filling. If your Instant Pot doesn’t have a springform pan, use a smaller baking dish that fits. Remember, patience is key—cooling your cheesecake completely ensures the perfect creamy consistency. Visit Betty Cooks for more easy recipes and baking inspiration!
