Black Forrest Chocolate Cheesecake is an extremely decadent dessert topped with whipped cream and juicy cherries made right in your Instant Pot!
With Valentines Day coming up this Friday I will for sure be making this for my husband! Its one of his all time favorite cheesecakes!
I adore using my new Instant Pot that I got for Christmas from my hubby! I use it for all sorts of dinners, appetizers and now desserts of all kinds- cakes, cheesecakes and more!
Instant Pot recipes are the new ‘craze’ and for a good reason! Everyone loves a crock pot type dinner or dessert without all the waiting!
This incredible cheesecake will keep well in the fridge for about 7 days!
Though we all know it wont last that long, not with my hubby and I midnight snacking once our babygirl goes to bed lol 😉
WHY DO THEY CALL IT BLACK FOREST CAKE/CHEESECAKE?
Well, the cake is named after a cherry liquor that is called “Black Forest Kirsch”.
If you don’t want to use liquor in the cheesecake, you obviously do not have to- its only a little bit that went into this one, but it wont change the flavor at all , you can just omit it from the recipe.
