Who wants Cheesecake Factory cheesecake?
Everybody and their mama! Duh.
Are you missing nights out and celebrations with family and friends at The Cheesecake Factory?
On a stroll down memory lane, you enter the restaurant to excuse your way through a crowd of wall to wall people, all waiting with buzzers for the next available table. Just like it were Groundhog Day, on repeat, the wait is always 25-45 minutes— and they don’t take weekend reservations.
Then while you wait, there’s the dilemma of what cheesecake you’ll choose. All those calories are calling your name. Every cake they make in every flavor is staring at you from the glass display.
Will it be chocolate, Oreo, Snickers, red velvet or mango?
You select the Low Calorie Cheesecake on the menu. You deserve the Snickers Cheesecake for working so hard during the week. But the Low Calorie one gives you peace of mind.
Oh, the good ole days.
We didn’t even know how good we had it when part of the Cheesecake Factory’s identity was the eye-roll Saturday night crowd. (A recipe for disaster right now— no pun intended when I use the word recipe).

Instant Pot cheesecake filling instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, reduced-fat cream cheese, and 2/3 cup of the sugar.
2. Mix the ingredients on medium speed until the ingredients become light and fluffy, stopping periodically to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
3. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
4. Mix well and then pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
5. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
6. Place the Instant Pot steam rack in the inner pot and add 1 cup water to the bottom of the pot.
7. Add the silicone baking sling to the pan and carefully lower the pan onto the steam rack. (You’ll thank me again and again for the tip about the baking sling!)
8. Cover, lock the lid and move the steam release handle to the sealing position.
9. Select ‘pressure cook’ (low) and set the cook time for 35 minutes.
10. When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 20 minutes).
11. Carefully remove the lid and lift the pan out of the pot with the silicone baking sling (this is the part where you thank me!), and set aside to cool.
12. Once cooled, cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 6 hours.

14. Optionally, arrange the fruit on top in your favorite pattern.
